No longer true, if it ever was . . .
Typical morning has now become a
doppio alto lattè, or "DAL"
*, for my wife and a double cappuccino for myself. This is most often followed by another DAL for the older of my two teenage daughters, and a second double cappuccino for me.
During the rest of the day, the routine varies with how much work/"running around" I have to do. I've noticed that I rarely pull singles if I'm busy, but if I have the time to "sit and savor," I will often pull out the single basket -- even if I end up pulling two singles (back to back, not simultaneously) -- to enjoy the different flavor profile the single shot provides.
Cheers,
Jason
* Old-time Peet's customers may remember the "DAL," from the pre-Starbucks days when the drinks were tracked on a white board (as opposed to computer screen), and a "small" wasn't a "tall" . . .
