What time first drop and last drop

[@mr.nosleep4965]

Why not just use a single basket? And possibly save cost on the extra shot?

[@coolmacncheese]

Singles baskets are very finicky to use since it tapers in causing the coffee to extract differently which can be a pain when you're trying to make multiple coffee's back to back so its way easier to keep to the bigger basket sizes.

[@mr.nosleep4965]

@@coolmacncheese ah okay. We use a single basket where I’m employed and have always noticed inconsistencies with pulling shots. However, the owner is adamant that we don’t waste a shot. Money>quality i suppose!

[@rippawallet]

​@@mr.nosleep4965Quality > quantity

👍 great

[@anythingunderthesun6790]

20 to 30 grams per small cup?

[@zakaroonie44animated15]

Espresso is usually in the ratio, 1:2, espresso to water

[@sweiscool]

What happens to the other shot if a customer orders single shot of espresso

[@JesuCristoEsDiosYSalvador]

I gues they just trow it or drink it, imo if that is the case why offer single? Just offer only double, right? Other wise your selling 1 espresso but with the waste of 2.

[@leivmr]

They may put it into a milk beverage that requires one shot.

[@adeelasohaib7196]

They put it in the cup with two milk tablespoons

[@jacobmaland8028]

You can make single shots. At least my machine does both. Idk about commercial use machines. Maybe they only make 2

[@Kleyguy7]

Most of the time cafes are busy so one person might have ordered 1 espresso but you have three more people waiting for their coffee. Then you just do 2x double basket and it is much quicker than doing 4x single basket.

[@Kyle900t]

One espresso is being produced and split into two cups.

[@bagasster8104]

agree. This "shots by spouts" is the most "make people stupid" thing in coffee industry.

[@Marksdnyy]

How many ounces did you get per cup if you split it. They aren’t the same.

[@jamesb.ofdesertdistrict567]

“Volume” “Grams”

[@k9xscubing]

We do that because of crema

[@TeeTotalLoyal]

If you stir it surely you will destroy the crema?

[@tannermcginn7330]

From what I understand it's good practice to stir the crema and liquid together to incorporate all the flavors into each sip. The crema gets destroyed either way, but if you stir it you have a better chance of getting the crema and not leaving it in the cup.

[@JojogoesFB]

20 to 30 grams per cup or for two cups?

[@tannermcginn7330]

I'm pretty sure it's 20-30g in each cup.

[@kinghally9891]

It was wrong!!!! , single espresso depends on the amount of the dolce. Single ranges between 15-16. And for double, it ranges between 17 till 20

[@garybrown5769]

This man knows !!!!

[@k9xscubing]

Bro, in Italy, 14g dose is for a double

[@petecorsgz]

How many coffee grounds in?

[@nzmshmsdn]

21gram. Maybe it is 1:1 ratio

[@petecorsgz]

Oh, i thought they get 21g from the 20-30g they pull

[@nzmshmsdn]

@@petecorsgz in this video, they using double spout portafilter. I assumed coffee ground will be 21g, espresso will be 42g but it divided to two cups. So each will be 21g. Sorry if i'm wrong but i always brew my single shot espresso like this. Or maybe it is call ristretto?

[@PotatoMagnet]

@@nzmshmsdn but single espresso can't be 21gm of ground coffee. Single will range between 11 to 15 gms of ground coffee and double espresso will range between 18 to 21gms depending upon the basket size

[@nzmshmsdn]

@@PotatoMagnet yeah, but i said the output, not the input. 18-21g doubleshot the output will be 36-42g right? So in this video, they put the ground 21g and the espresso divided to two cups.

[@JeffCdeBaca]

That’s cheating
