Double shot is produced by using how many shot tins?

• A. Two shot tins
• B. Half a shot tin
• C. The espresso from one shot tin
• D. Four shot tins

Answer: (C)

A double shot is defined by the amount of espresso used in the drink, not by pulling two separate extractions. In this system, the espresso from one shot tin contains the standard single-shot amount, and that same amount is prepared and measured to satisfy the double-shot recipe—split into the appropriate two portions for the drink. Using two shot tins would yield two separate single shots rather than one doubled portion, while using less or more would not match the standard double amount. So the espresso from one shot tin is the correct source for a double shot.
