i just pulled our single pf out of the drawer and placed it on the espresso machine for all of my Baristas (and me) to contemplate.<br />
<br />
We are going to challenge ourselves to prepare single espressos.<br />
<br />
I know it can be done.....but are we up to the challenge?<br />
<br />
pulling doubles for a single is such a waste. pulling singles might just be the challenge we, as Baristas need to step up our game.<br />
<br />
no?

Alas, I should have stated in my post that those leftover shots you chill should be used by the end of that day. Using fresh espresso in blended drinks screws with the consistency, and chilled shots or cold brewed coffee are best for those. I know plenty of people that make their iced lattes with chilled espresso, and they are just fine. I am not saying I think it's best, but if your only option is to throw them out, I say use them as chilled.</div>

Good, thanks for the feedback. I have been using the double only for years, and teaching the double only for years. I am opening a new store in Ohio this week and a local roaster (Berardi's) and the owner were very adamant that this method was absolutely ridiculous.<br />
<br />
I am glad to see all the reassuring feedback so i can forward this discussion on to "the experts".<br />
