Doppio, Italian for "double," is a double shot of espresso, offering a more robust and concentrated flavor than a single shot. It is a popular choice for those seeking a stronger caffeine kick. Doppio is made using twice the amount of coffee grounds and is enjoyed as a standalone beverage or as the base for other espresso-based drinks.
The doppio emerged alongside the traditional espresso, meeting the demand for a bolder coffee experience. Its inception is rooted in Italian coffee culture, where strength and intensity are highly valued.
Similar to espresso but with a doubled amount of coffee grounds, resulting in a stronger and more potent beverage. The rich and full-bodied flavor makes doppio a favorite for those who appreciate a bold coffee experience.
Best time to have Doppio?
Morning or whenever a stronger coffee flavor is desired.
