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

    It seems like OP is talking about an espresso drink. Yes, that’s typically espresso in water or milk, maybe steamed milk/froth. The decaf would contribute flavor but little caffeine. I’m not sure why OP is confused about this.

      I think they were thinking of it in terms of caffeine when those wanting the extra shot were thinking of the flavour.
