We are opening a new shop in January and trying to figure out the drink sizes we will offer. Ideally we'd like to offer three, (12-16-20 oz), with 2, 3, and 4 shots respectively. The question becomes how to draw a triple shot at 23-24 grams with the grinder set for drawing perfect doubles at 16 grams. We don't want to have to adjust the grinder every time we need a triple but it doesn't seem possible to draw the same quality shot with the same grind setting once it's dialed in for a double. Adding 50% more coffee and 50% more water seems certain to increase the time required, thus changing the flavor. A shop I worked at in the past used a separate grinder dialed in just for triples. We won't have that option. Any thoughts?
