How many espresso shots are in a medium plastic cup?

In the context of the beverages served by Viridian Coffee Co., a medium plastic cup typically contains two espresso shots. This standard serving size balances the flavor intensity and the richness of the coffee, providing a satisfying experience without overwhelming the customer. The use of two shots is common in many coffee shops for medium-sized beverages to offer a robust coffee flavor while still being manageable for those who may not prefer the stronger taste of higher shot counts.

This standardization also helps in maintaining consistency across different beverages, ensuring that each cup meets customer expectations. Choosing two shots allows for a stronger caffeine boost compared to just one, while not escalating the volume too high with three or four shots, which could lead to a very intense and possibly bitter flavor profile. This understanding of serving sizes is crucial for baristas when preparing drinks and managing customer satisfaction.
