If a customer requests a beverage with "extra extra strong" coffee, what modification should you apply?

When a customer requests a beverage with "extra extra strong" coffee, the appropriate modification to apply is ES+. The "ES" typically stands for extra strong, and the addition of a "+" indicates that it is an amplified version of the extra strength. This communicates the customer's desire for a significantly stronger cup of coffee than the standard extra strong option, ensuring that the barista understands and can prepare the beverage to meet the customer's specific request.

Other modifications may indicate different aspects of a drink. Just having "ES" would denote regular extra strong, which may not fulfill the customer's heightened request for strength. "HON" usually indicates some form of honey or sweetness, while "HWC" refers to heavy whipping cream, neither of which addresses the strength of the coffee. Thus, applying ES+ clearly reflects the customer's intent for an even more potent beverage.
