I just bought an Incanto Sirius to start making my own iced lattes that I typically got from starbucks. I am still new to the game.
Well I used to drink Venti Iced Lattes at Starbucks. Three "shots" according to starbucks go into an Iced Venti Latte.
I am curious as to how big of a shot they use for this. I originally thought a shot was 1oz of espresso. But now I am reading that the typical shot size is 1.5oz. Which one is correct?
I guess I am a little confused because while I was in starbucks... I bought two measuring shot glasses. The shot glasses look like a typical liquor shot glass... except there is a line across the stop that measures out 1oz. So I figured this was their shot... so I programmed my "small coffee button" on my Sirius to dispense 1oz of espresso.
Does Starbucks use 1oz of espresso or 1.5oz of espresso when they say you are getting three shots? If they use 1.5oz of espresso... then I have been measuring my lattes incorrectly.
Thanks in advance.
