Costa small cup is the number of large cup, netizens measured COSTA coffee, rising cup is actually shrinking

Liter cup, how much? Is it water that lifts the cup?

Would you like a raise? Are you familiar with this sentence? So how much is this one? Do you know how much coffee is actually in the large, medium and small cups every time you buy it?

This is not clear at all. Measured Costa American coffee, large cup 30 yuan, medium cup 27 yuan, small cup 24 yuan, the difference between 3 yuan.

Then I raise the cup, how much? Is it water that lifts the cup?

Small, medium, large

In a Costa store, the signs of three cups of different sizes read: 360ml for small cups, 480ml for medium cups and 600ml for large cups.

Perplexity 1:

Does the explicit capacity of the Costa store refer to the size of the cup? Or the amount of coffee given to the customer?

Puzzle 2:

Let's fill the cup with only eight cents. If there is a difference of 100 milliliters, then 5 yuan will be gone, and the cup will actually shrink. Adding 3 yuan to a liter cup is to add water or concentrate?

Upgrade from medium to large, spent an extra 3 yuan, but got the same amount of medium as 30 yuan!

In this regard, cafes take into account the safety of carrying and customers to drink, they will not be too full, usually some distance from the mouth of the cup. Indeed, this is true in most cafes.

Again, take a look at Starbucks

According to Starbucks' official website, their small cup is 236ml, medium cup is 355ml, large cup is 473ml, and super large cup 592ml. It is measured that a very large cup of American style, poured out is probably 550ml, less 42ml.

Let's take a look at the latte. The prices are 25 yuan, 28 yuan, 31 yuan and 34 yuan respectively. If you add 3 yuan, you can drink more than 100ml and a shot. According to the shop assistant, the large cup is more cost-effective.

Starbucks coffee content varies depending on the size of the cup:

▼

Small cup: it's an espresso (30ml)

Medium: one espresso (30ml)

Large cup: two espresso (60ml)

Extra large cup: two espresso (90ml)

After adding espresso, the cup is filled with milk, and the small, medium and large lattes are poured into the measuring cup. the 225ml, 325ml and 400ml are measured in the small latte, the medium cup and the large cup. If you add the thickness of the foam, the large cup only has 425ml, which is about 50ml less than 473ml.

Small Cup official website: 236ml Measurement: 225ml

Big Cup official website: 473ml Measurement: 425ml

Are all deep routines.

What is the cost of the coffee we ordered? The heaviest costs in a coffee shop are rent and labor.

When we upgrade from medium to large American style, we can see that the labor costs of other coffee making will not change, water, electricity and rent will not change, only the cost of raw materials such as coffee beans and water will increase slightly.

The winner in the end is the merchant..

So, behind every small cup, medium cup, large cup and extra large cup is a deep routine.
