Sizes of Paper Cups

As I am not a barista, it would be good to get a idea of what size cup is best for the industry, currently there are

8oz / 250ml uses 80mm lid

10oz / 350ml uses 85mm lid

12oz / 400ml uses 90ml lid

16oz / 450ml uses 90ml lid

20oz / 600ml uses 90ml lid

 

I get confused, as if there is 1 shot in 8oz, and 2 shots in 12oz, this would produce a different flavour drink.

So should there be different size cups, to produce a better tasting coffee.

Lid size is important, as indications are that baristas do not want lots of different lids, but if there is one size that fits several sizes it can make the shape of the cups look a bit odd.

 

If anyone has any thoughts of what the ideal hot drink paper cup should be, I would be grateful to know.
