Cup size

Odd question perhaps, but what cup size do you use for cappuccino/latte?

I was browsing CG and I noticed they are all using 13oz cups. Which are massive. The ones I have here are the smaller, traditional 5oz cups - which explains why I can't get the same level of detail in my art.

Preferences?

I never touch the stuff, but when I pull a milky drink for my other half she much prefers a shorter "tea cup sized" drink because she wants to be able to taste the coffee.

Note to self - I really ought to get some cappa cups for my wife, and for guests when they drop by. I also really ought to practice foaming - but when two of the three coffee drinkers in my household drink ristrettos, there's not too much incentive.

8oz I think is the standard cup size

Ounces are too complicated anyway! I'd say the Americans are talking in American Ounces which makes it a whopping 384ml, way too big in my book. In Italy I think they stick to about 5oz (~145ml) and the metric standard is 250ml (~8.5oz).

But then my shots are 20ml and my Americanos are 100ml

Am I the only one with a dirty mind?
