Hey community. I have recently dove into the wonderful world of coffee so a lot of knowledge gaps to fill in. I am trying to decide on cups sizes to match to an espresso, cappuccino and latte.
I am finding it a little confusing on how to best match sizes.
If I understand this correctly, a standard espresso works off ~7g of coffee. This would turn into ~15ml of 1:1 espresso. That seems way too small of a volume to serve.
so I guess a default is a double(?) ~15g to make ~30ml of espresso.. again still seems quite small volume…
This then opens up questions on what the correct amount of total volume is for a capuccino? A late? Are these by default based of a double shot??
Which cups then match correctly for these drinks?
Eg a cap based of a single 7g coffe, 1:1 15ml espresso is then only about 50ml? A 100ml for a double?
So coming back to the fundamentals, what should be a standard espresso volume and based on how much coffee ?
Following on from this what would be the standard volume and matching cup for a cappuccino? A flat white? And how does it break down into milk, foam, espresso (coffee grams, shot volume and ratio)?
Would appreciate some clarification on the matter.
thank you.
