What should you do with shots outside of the 7Brew shot window?

• A. Use them immediately
• B. Put them in a chiller batch
• C. Discard them
• D. Save for later

Answer: (B)

When a shot pulls outside the ideal window, its flavor balance isn’t right for standard service. Instead of tossing it, save it by adding it to a chiller batch. This creates a cooled espresso base you can use for iced drinks and other beverages, reducing waste while keeping the workflow efficient. The chilled batch stays ready to pull from and helps maintain consistent results during busy periods. Using it immediately would risk off flavors, and discarding it wastes product, while saving it as a regular shot wouldn’t fit how it’s meant to be used.
