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

    I’m convinced the “ugh, decaf, what’s the point?” people don’t actually like coffee lol.

      I used to spout this when I was in my early 20’s and had no fucking clue about the acute anxiety and palm-sweatiness of being 30 and over-caffeinated

      Coffee/beer/alcohol are disgusting and consumed for other purposes than taste.

      Fight me.

        I don’t drink alcohol, so I cannot comment on that.

        But that said, I kind of think of coffee as being pretty similar to chocolate. It’s an earthy but bitter flavour that can be nice, often when paired with something sweet and creamy. Also there are nice espressos that are kind of fruity and creamy on their own. There’s plenty flavours that are overwhelming on their own, but complement other flavours nicely. People are also known to like intense experiences, like really spicy foods.

        Anyway, I won’t fight you if you don’t like it. That’s totally reasonable :).
