"Little did we know what 'Single shot' meant. Did we not laugh at ourselves?," the woman captioned the post.

Watch the video below:

Espressos are small because they are made with a concentrated amount of coffee. According to Nescafe, the coffee is ground very finely and then forced through hot water under high pressure. This creates a very strong and flavourful coffee that is typically served in a small cup.
