Doppio (Double Espresso Shot)

A doppio espresso is simply a double shot of espresso. "Doppio" means "double" in Italian. It typically contains 14-18 grams of ground coffee, produces about 2 ounces (60ml) of liquid, and delivers 100-150mg of caffeine. Doppios serve as the foundation for many popular coffee drinks and can be enjoyed straight for a rich, intense espresso experience. Doppio and double espresso are identical, just different languages for the same drink. A standard doppio uses twice the coffee (14-18g) and yields twice the volume (60ml) of a single shot. Doppio espresso typically contains 58-185mg of caffeine, averaging around 150mg. Modern coffee shops often use doppio as the standard base for milk drinks. A doppio contains only about 8 calories when served black.
