People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?

The_Mike_Drop@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 123 points –

All our coffee is served with two shots by default. We're not some fancy coffee shop, just a motorway service station that makes coffee to go. We have some regulars who order a decaff with an extra shot. I explain thats going to have three shots total, and they're happy with it.

But I keep thinking, if you have three shots of decaff, isn't that going to be as strong as a normal coffee? Whats the point?

Please forgive my ignorance

Doey it change the taste of the coffee? If I order a coffee with a shot of espresso it's because I like strong tasting coffee.

This is probably it.

Decaf has about 3% of the caffeine, and espresso tends to be stronger in flavor than a standard drip.
