Hi everyone,
I am preparing to open a cafe and am doing research on different coffee recipes.
From my understanding, you would need one shot of espresso (25g) for 6~7 oz cup of cappuccino.
This means that I would need two shots for 12~14 oz, three shots for 18-21 oz and so on.
Originally, I was planning on getting just two sizes: 16oz for medium and 24oz for large (these are the standard grande and venti sizes at starbucks). We don't want to go much smaller because we want to give the customers the feeling that they are getting good value for what they pay.
But this makes coffee making more cumbersome as the barista needs to use 2.5 shots of espresso for 16oz and 4 shots for 24oz. Does anyone have work around this? Starbucks seems to use 2 shots for grande and venti, which to me, does not make any sense. Shouldn't they at least use the same ratio to make their coffee taste consistent? Please enlighten me on this topic and also make any suggestions regarding the cup sizes. Thanks in advance for your help!!
