Volumes : Milk/Espresso

[Intellidepth]

In browsing around CS, Ive found quite a few different posts here and there with volumes for types of coffees served, but none in one place.

Im looking at investing in real coffee cups, and Im not sure which versions/sizes to start with. Personally I drink doubles all the time, in any type of coffee style, however I suspect most of my guests will drink singles.

Im seeking advice on general metric volume/portion benchmarks for things such as:

Latte
Cappuccino
Flat White
Macchiato
Ristretto
Long Black
Americano
Piccolo doppio ristretto (etc)
Piccolo latte
and anything else I have missed?

Im interested in any versions of coffee types at all, as I want to try them all myself. At home. Where Im in control of the quality. And if theres a great thread Ive missed, could you please mention it?

Thanks so much.

Re: Volumes : Milk/Espresso

Who makes the coffee rules? I think you should serve what you like at home and be happy you can.

Coffee standards are not very standard.

Latte - 220ml
Cap/FW/LB - 170ml
Piccolo - 90-110ml

I think these 3 sizes should cover everything at home. Unless you want to cater to the friends who want a quarter strength latte in a 500ml takeaway cup.
