The rollout of the Trenta cup follows a trial in the US last year. Starbucks said it had no plans for the bigger size cup to come to the UK.

The 31-ounce cup size will be available only for cold drinks, including iced coffee and iced teas. It will cost around 30p more than Starbucks' current largest Venti cups.
