Quad Shot Espresso

A quad shot is a coffee drink made with four shots of espresso, giving you a much stronger caffeine hit than your typical single or double-shot drinks. The name “quad” simply means four, referring to the four separate espresso pulls combined to create the drink’s base.

People who order a quad shot are usually after a serious caffeine boost or want an extra-strong coffee. You can enjoy it straight as espresso or use it to build bigger drinks like lattes, Americanos, or cappuccinos. The flavor is bold and intense, with a rich, heavy body and a significant caffeine punch. However, because there’s more espresso in the mix, it can taste more bitter or harsh if not brewed just right.

With around 300-400 mg of caffeine, depending on the beans and shot size, a quad shot isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s a great choice if you love strong coffee flavors and can handle the extra caffeine kick.
