In Medium SF Brunette, how many espresso shots are used?

• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to balance flavor and caffeine for a given drink size by how many espresso shots are used. For a Medium SF Brunette, two espresso shots give enough coffee flavor and caffeine to stand up to the milk and the sugar-free flavoring without overpowering the drink. Using only one shot would make the drink taste weak and less satisfying in a medium size, while using three shots would push the coffee flavor too far and upset the harmony of sweetness and texture. In short, two shots hit that middle ground, delivering a consistent, well-balanced profile for the medium size.
