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

    Most places serve coffee that tastes like warm milk with a hint of beige, by default.

    Adding an extra shot is your best hope of it actually tasting like coffee, regardless of caffeine content.

      I don’t get any sort of milk in my coffee, so it would be strange for it to taste like milk. But it’s true that a lot of people want a coffee milkshake with a ton of sugar, like a Frappuccino.
