This is what I was originally getting at. People who order Big Gulp sized Lattes aren't in it for the espresso flavor, and if they are then they can add more shots. So, I feel like it is advantageous to offer different espresso --> milk ratios. Especially because the ratio can be tweaked to meet personal preference.<br />

Thank you all for your input.<br />

I was under the impression that most coffee houses scaled the amount of shots per drink, depending on what <a href="http://www.thecoffeebump.com/blog/2009/04/411-on-cold-brewing-coffee.html">espresso drink</a> that you ordered.

<br />
What I meant is without ever weighing your shots mass how can you tell what you are pulling? Ristretto, noramle, lungo etc. I know his chart is not perfect but it has really helped me gain some consistency which allows me to play more with all the variables..<br />

I can't imagine having to go through this every time I make a drink. We use triples (21g basket) for everything we make. We only offer 8 or 12 oz latte/cappoccinos. I would love to have one size of each instead but we would have a lot of explaining to do to our customers. However, in opening a new shop I will not make this mistake and hopefully the quality of the drink will be enough to show them that supersized espresso drinks are not as enjoyable..... at my shop we use two for 12…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2009-05-01:1688216:Comment:4514112009-05-01T18:23:19.704ZBrandon Raganhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/BrandonRagan

Like it was said before without weighing the dose and mass of the shot it is impossible to use the appropriate terminology. I really recommend looking at Andy Schecter's chart. I found by weighing my dose and shot mass that I was pulling triple normales. My dosing was consistently 19/20g and the mass of my shots when I was stopping them by watching for blonding was around 35/38g. The doseage mass fell into a triple (7g= single, 14g=double, 21g=triple) and the resulting mass of the shot was…

My dosing was consistently 19/20g and the mass of my shots when I was stopping them by watching for blonding was around 35/38g. The doseage mass fell into a triple (7g= single, 14g=double, 21g=triple) and the resulting mass of the shot was almost double the mass of the dose which according to Andy's chart left me with a normale shot. After finding this out I tried to pull a ristretto, which is ~100% dosage mass/shot mass. I had to adjust the grind finer until I achieved close to 100% at around 25 seconds. I was amazed at how small the shot was but it tasted sweet and left me experimenting until my heart almost beat through my chest from all the shots I was tasting.
