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
It’s interesting to me because for me the coffee (not espresso) as is the default, with no added water. So the idea that it’s assumed it is mixed threw me off. Here the assumption the coffee is “regular” (drip, french press, basically not espresso) and if you want water or milk in it, that’s extra thing. Nobody puts in water in that coffe though hah, it’s just whether you want milk and sugar.
Ah yeah that’s your kind of standard home or office coffee, not something you’d get in a cafe really (or at least not the main one they would serve).
Here I think it’s the typical coffee you’d get if you don’t specify anything else. Espresso based fancy milk foam sugary things are getting more popular though.
Ah yeah if you go to a non-cafe place then that’s what you’d get unless they invested in a fancy machine.
Do try a flat white sometime though, or a piccolo latte (no sugar or such heathenly things though!).
I’ve tried a “flat white” but it mostly tasted like regular coffee with milk imo. If a bit milkier than I’m used to.
Ensure it has two shots, may have to reduce the milk or get a piccolo instead. It’s quite hit and miss here.
