<p>It seems OK to prepare two single shots of espresso, then fill both of them in the same cup. It shouldn't be a serious problem except disturbing the foam form during filling.</p>

<p>With lattes you can fit a double handle over the cup that you're making the coffee in. But a demitasse won't fit under a double handle. Do you make two single shots and pour the second one into the first? Do you fill a single handle twice?</p>

Hey Max, we're happy to have questions about cooking with coffee on cooking, but as long as there's a coffee site we figure the pure coffee questions might as well come here.
