Highlights

Traditionally, a single shot (solo) of espresso uses 7g of espresso-fine grounds and yields about 30ml of espresso (about 1 liquid ounce)

A double shot uses 14g of coffee and produces around 60ml of espresso (about 2 liquid ounces).

Shop #1 uses 16g of coffee. They produce 32g shots (around 50ml liquid ounces).  This is a 1:2 ratio (16g in, 32 out)

If you’re using the traditional definition, you’d know that Shop #1 is the closest, but it’s not exactly on the bullseye
