Which latte size requires 4 pumps of syrup in its preparation?

In Starbucks beverage preparation, the amount of syrup used varies according to the size of the drink. A Grande latte, which is 16 fluid ounces, typically requires 4 pumps of syrup to achieve the desired flavor balance. This size is the standard for many of the drinks offered and is often the point where customers can expect a richer taste compared to smaller sizes.

In contrast, smaller sizes like the Short and Tall lattes use fewer pumps of syrup, typically using 2 and 3 pumps respectively. The Venti latte, being larger at 20 fluid ounces, would require 5 pumps of syrup to maintain the same flavor intensity as the Grande. Thus, the requirement of 4 pumps of syrup aligns perfectly with the volume and flavor balance intended for a Grande latte.
