How Much Is A Cup Of Espresso At A 'Starbucks', And How Much Is It At A Non-Premium Coffee Shop?

Q: I am not a coffee drinker; I need to know for my screenplay. Also, how many cups to become very jittery?

A: Espresso is served by the shot. A double shot will probably run you about $2 give or take at a coffee shop or a 'Starbucks'. It really depends on the person as far as the amount it takes to get jittery. Some people can't really handle caffeine at all, others can drink it like water and be fine. I would say after maybe 5 or 6 shots the average person might be pretty jittery. I have an Espresso machine at home, and normally consume about 8-10 shots per day, but that is broken up during the day. Usually, I drink about 4 shots in each drink. Well, 'Starbucks' is not a "premium" coffee shop. I live in Italy, and here, 'Starbucks' doesn't exist... Here Espresso costs 80 cents to 1 Euro.
