`I worked at Caribou Coffee in Emory Village for 6 1/2 years and our latte based drinkes were 2, 2, 3 for 12 16 and 20 oz respectively. All the ``o`` drinks (Cappuccino, Americano, Machiatto, etc.) were 2, 3, 4. I then worked at two independents (Java-o-logy, and Gathering Grounds which used Intelligentsia) and both had similar 2, 2, 3 or 2, 3, 4 and honestly we had to pull shots in pairs at G.G. so it was almost always 2, 2, 4. I should add at G. G. The ``2`` is the traditional Italian doppio volume of 1 oz. not the American 2-3 oz.; although, we used a ``3-shot`` portafilter for our doppio. This would mean volume wise it would be similar to 1, 1, 2 at say Starbucks, but in terms of ground coffee it was much more.  Just my 2 cents that things are drastically inconsistent across the board, but that there maybe two different trends in the U.S. towards more shots and less volume per shot.     `
