espresso shot

Small strong coffee

A shot of espresso is a single serving of the concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely ground beans under pressure.

The standard measure, about one ounce, forms the base of most coffee-shop drinks: a latte with two shots, I need an extra shot this morning.

Shot emphasizes the small, intense dose—quick to drink, quick to hit.
