From exclusive items to portion sizes, we wanted to find out all the differences between Starbucks in Italy and the U.S.

Our hot drinks in Italy come in four sizes, short, tall, grande, and venti.

Our hot drinks come in five sizes, short, tall, grande, venti, and the coffee traveler.

Two of these, like grande and venti, are Italian words, like venti means 20 in Italian, and grande just means big.

The name translates to 20, but it is not.

In the U.S., iced coffees come in four sizes, tall, grande, venti, and trenta.

Trenta is not available as an option for their espresso drinks, but you can get it in stuff like cold brew or their iced teas.

Our iced coffees come in three sizes, a tall, grande, and venti.

Let's measure the venti to see if it actually is 20 ounces.

It's more like a diciotto, which is like 18.

We're also gonna weigh some popular food items from Starbucks.

So, it's a pretty big difference to how much Italy's weighs.

Another popular bakery item is the blueberry muffin.

Here's everything that you find at Starbucks in Italy that you won't find in the U.S.

Here's everything that you'll find at a Starbucks in the U.S.

We know that Starbucks is popular because of its customization options, so because of that, we're only gonna look at the official menus in the U.S. and Italy.

These are the exclusive hot drinks that you can find at Starbucks here in Italy.

Starting from this tiny cup, this one is barley coffee.

In Italian, we call it caffè d'orzo, and it's basically an alternative to espresso for those people that cannot really drink coffee.

I'm not a fan of this, I think, because I can drink normal coffee, but if I were not able to,

I think I'll just force myself to like it just for the pleasure of still having my espresso.

It does smell just like a cappuccino, really, but obviously it's past 11 or so, so it's past breakfast time anyway, so cappuccinos are like a no-no drink for me.

I'm not so much into drinking milk after a certain time of the day.

This one is a salted maple and caramel latte.

It's nice, yeah, it does taste like fake artificial syrup.

Jasmine Pearl, hibiscus, or hibiscus, as we say here, and chamomile.

And you may also be able to find the Moroccan, which in Italian just translates into like literally marocchino.

There's like a bit of coffee and a bit of milk, obviously with like its own proper ratio.

And it's named weirdly after a Moroccan leather that has the same color that this coffee has.

It's like a brownish, like light brown leather.

That's actually very popular here in the northern region in Milan where we are.

So here are the hot exclusive beverages we bought today.

This is the caramel apple spice juice, the apple crisp oat milk macchiato, we have a blonde vanilla latte, and this is a Royal English breakfast tea.

I feel like I have to try this caramel apple spice juice because it looks nothing like juice.

It doesn't taste bad actually, that tastes pretty good.

I'm gonna try the Royal English breakfast tea in honor of Harry.

But my preference is iced tea, not hot tea, so maybe that's why.

We have lots of exclusive cold drinks here in Italy.

We didn't get everything, but here's what we've got.

Starting from a cookies and cream frappuccino.

I'm quite surprised this is exclusive to Italy because I always associate cookies and cream with the US.

To me, this is a bit of a foreign idea because we just have the boring chocolate flavor.

This is the apple crisp frap, the pumpkin spice frap, and the white mocha cream frap.

I feel very compelled to try this mocha cookie frap because it just looks like a milkshake.

Yeah, it tastes like cold chocolate milk, specifically Nestle syrup chocolate milk.

An apple crisp frappuccino sounds kind of special to me, so I really want to taste it.

The pumpkin spice frap and the apple crisp frap are seasonal items, so you're not gonna be able to find them year round.

And then we have iced cold foam cappuccino.

It also looks quite dark for a cappuccino.

Maybe that's just because the foam is gone, but I don't know.

They keep putting hearts here, but I'm not really tempted to try this.

And then we have an iced salted maple and caramel latte.

That does smell a lot like sugar, actually.

It actually just smells like sugar, and you can see the sugar at the top.

Let's see if it does actually taste like maple.

I don't know if I can advocate for, like,

Canadians out there, but for what it's worth, I'm gonna try it.

Not even caramel, just a lot, lot of sugar.

I feel like a Canadian would never order this, but that would be another episode of Food Wars.

And then we have iced chai tea oat latte.

Again, quite surprised that this is exclusive to Italy because we're not so big on, like, chai.
