I have been considering the conversion to only two drink sizes. 8oz and 12oz? My caffe is supposed to be strongly Italian/ European influenced, which is outstanding in some ways: expectation of quality, passion for the COFFEE (milk is additional), simplicity, and also it is a relatively exotic concept for 'these' Americans. But at the same time, my Caffe is a part of a luxury hotel, which implies hospitality, which further implies virtually insane accommodation for the guest. I don't WANT to make VENTI CARAMEL MACCHIATOS!!! At the same time, we do have some pretty amazing "dessert" drinks, but they all embrace balance of flavors and an emphasis on coffee. How much can that justify saying, "sorry" we don't make caramel macchiatos here, or sorry we only serve an 8oz Cappuccino? Do any of you guys have experience with 'limited' menus or only one, smaller size?
