    Technically speaking "piccolo" translates to "small", so wanting a larger piccolo translates to "larger small", effectively normal size.
    I reckon something like a double shot latte in a standard sized glass might be close to what you want.
    We could start a new trend and call it a "grande" or perhaps "gigante" for the super sized version.
    Thank goodness I'm not running a coffee shop Ha Ha, because if I did, I don't think I'd have too many happy customers as my options would be extremely limited, ie;
    espresso (20-30 ml no milk)
    macchiato (as above with a touch of milk)
    cappuccino and caffe latte (as per no. 1 topped up with milk)
    No long, small, skinny, soy, decaf extra this and that.

    Flute is standard size. A flautino or an Eb flute will be between piccolo and concert.

    In the orchestral setting, the piccolo player is often designated as "piccolo/flute III", or even "assistant principal". Thanks wikipedia.

    The piccolo[1] /ˈpɪkəloʊ/ (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpikkolo]; Italian for "small", but named ottavino in Italy)[2] is a half-size flute, and a member of the woodwind family of musical instruments. The modern piccolo has most of the same fingerings as its larger sibling, the standard transverse flute,[3] but the sound it produces is an octave higher than written. This gave rise to the name ottavino (Italian for "little octave"), the name by which the instrument is referred to in the scores of Italian composers.[4]

    When ordering a flat white in a cafe (rather than take away) I now ask for a standard cup size with a double shot espresso. As long as the cafe uses the smaller size coffee cups then that turns out pretty much as a double piccolo.

    I believe to be a magic it must be a double ristretto. I just ask for a three quarter latte. In better cafe's they know exactly what you want, in 'other' Cafes they may ask whether you mean 3/4 strength or amount.

    Try asking if they have any 3/4 latte glasses (160mL) EDIT: what Trentski said). Otherwise settle for a standard latte but only half or 2/3 filled with ..or take smaller sips
