For Italians, “caffè” is just espresso. Then you have “americano”, which is similar to filter coffee even though it’s usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.
Then you have “ristretto”, which is a shorter espresso.
Starbucks already did it. They welcome all to order their more than 20 oz Venti, their medium Grande or their small Tall. Just don’t pretend words have logical meanings while you drink your $10 burnt coffee.
This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
Not only the amount of dairy.

Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed…
Holy shit this is true, it’s like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of “micro foam” on top.
Well, if the coffee was in different shapes, they would give them all sorts of different names too, even if its the same thing across the board.
