  I assure you I’m not trolling. I understand what you’re saying, I just find your confusion … confusing.

  It’s no worry though, I guess we just have such different ways to see the world and things that we can’t reconcile them. :)

    I try to explain.

    So for me, my assumption was that “coffee” is straight black drip coffee or espresso alone, but it really meant that part mixed in with something else and meant the whole drink. So when OP talked about adding shots (which I didn’t know what it meant) to coffee (which I assumed was either straight black drip coffee or espresso) I was confused. What would you be adding to coffee, more coffee?? Like adding espresso to drip coffee??? Took me a moment to get that shots basically mean what I’d call the coffee and by coffee they meant what I’d think of as specialty coffee (some sort of mix) or coffee drink.

    It was confusing because the same words are used to mean different things for me and OP and because I wasn’t used to the shot terminology when it comes to coffee.

    Man I hope I cleared it up, it’s hard to explain.
