With lattes you can fit a double handle over the cup that you're making the coffee in. But a demitasse won't fit under a double handle. Do you make two single shots and pour the second one into the first? Do you fill a single handle twice?

  • Hey Max, we're happy to have questions about cooking with coffee on cooking, but as long as there's a coffee site we figure the pure coffee questions might as well come here.

Actually it turns out the demitasse fits under the double basket, but you have to hold it up closer at the start otherwise it spills over the sides a little (as in the picture below)

It seems OK to prepare two single shots of espresso, then fill both of them in the same cup. It shouldn't be a serious problem except disturbing the foam form during filling.

I assume that contact with air, temperature difference, etc. could make subtle differences, but it will be still drinkable.
