All our coffee is served with two shots by default. We’re not some fancy coffee shop, just a motorway service station that makes coffee to go. We have some regulars who order a decaff with an extra shot. I explain thats going to have three shots total, and they’re happy with it.

But I keep thinking, if you have three shots of decaff, isn’t that going to be as strong as a normal coffee? Whats the point?

Please forgive my ignorance

    Sometimes I wonder if customer demand creates the over-extracted espresso you often see.
    But when you go somewhere with barristas that give a damn, they’ll extract correctly, because they’re confident enough to discuss it.

    I’ve still had no luck persuading my mum that filling half a cup with overrun is not how it’s supposed to taste.
    But when I do a 36g shot, “it doesn’t taste right”.
