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

Italy and the rest of the world have different ideas of what constitutes espresso, culturally.

Italian espresso is fast, casual, cheap, typically darkly roasted, and a very social experience.

Espresso in the US, Australia, and other countries tends to be more prepared, precise, lightly roasted, and appreciated.

Neither is better than the other, just different cultures!
