7 Brew Crew Handbook Practice Test

Shot count is about how many espresso pulls go into the drink. A double shot supplies two pulls. When you see 1 1/2 double shots, that equals 1.5 × 2 = three espresso pulls in total. For a Medium House Blend, the recipe uses three shots, so this notation matches the standard amount. The other options would give four, six, or five pulls, which would change the drink from its intended strength for that size.
