The medium hot drink at Dutch Bros is 16 ounces, and costs around $3.00. The medium cold drink is 24 ounces and costs approximately $3.50. This is nearly 10 ounces more than you get with a hot drink at Dutch Bros, and it only costs around 50 cents more.

What is a Large at Dutch Bros?

Large drinks at Dutch Bros have the greatest size difference. The large hot drink at Dutch Bros is 20 ounces and costs $3.50 for a basic coffee drink.

Large cold drinks are quite a bit larger than hot drinks at Dutch Bros. A large cold drink will cost you around $4.00 and gives you 32 ounces of beverage.

What is a Large Hot (20 fl. oz.)

A large hot drink at Dutch Bros is a 20-fluid-ounce beverage. While this doesn’t seem like much, 20 ounces is equivalent to a British pint or 2.37 cups. For the coffee lover that wants a coffee to last more than just a few minutes, the large is a nice option.

One of the complaints about large, hot coffee drinks is the imbalance of coffee and milk. If you want more coffee in your large Dutch Bros coffee, ask for an extra shot of espresso. This will cost you a bit more, but it really gives you a better taste of Dutch Bros coffee and reduces the amount of milk in your cup.

What is a Large Cold (32 fl. oz.)

Dutch Bros gives you a whopping 32 fluid ounces in their large cold drink. For reference, this is two American pints or a full liter of beverage. This large size is used for Dutch Bros iced coffees, blended coffees, teas, and energy drinks.  

Why Is A Cold Large Bigger Than a Hot Large

No, Dutch Bros isn’t trying to convince you to drink cold beverages instead of hot, with a larger-sized cup for cold drinks. There is actually a very logical reason behind the larger size cups for hot and cold drinks.

The additional space in the cold drink cup is for ice. Sure, it may seem like you are getting more liquid in a large cold drink at Dutch Bros, but in reality the actual amount of liquid in large hot and cold drinks is the same. The use of larger cold drink cups allows Dutch Bros to give you a similar amount of beverage for the same cost.  

What is the Biggest Drink at Dutch Bros?

Dutch Bros is well known for their secret menu offerings. However, unlike Starbucks, the Dutch Bros secret menu only pertains to the drink ingredients. It does not have a secret size offering. The largest size that Dutch Bros offers is their 32-ounce cold drink cup.
