What Is a Double Espresso?
A double espresso — also called a doppio — is two shots of espresso pulled together, served in a small demitasse cup or a short cup. Each shot is approximately one ounce of concentrated, pressure-brewed coffee, making a double espresso roughly two ounces of liquid total.
The pressure-brewing process (forcing hot water through finely ground coffee under high pressure) extracts more coffee solids per ounce than any other brewing method — giving espresso its characteristic thick texture, intense flavour, and crema (the golden foam layer on top of a fresh shot).
At Sheetz: The Double Espresso is ordered through the MTO kiosk. It comes out as two pulled shots — the same espresso base used in all Sheetz lattes, mochas, and Americanos, just without the water or milk added.
Double Espresso vs. Every Other Sheetz Coffee
| Drink | Volume | Caffeine (approx.) | Calories (base) | Best for |
| Double Espresso | ~2 oz | 130–150mg | ~10 cal | Maximum caffeine, minimum volume |
| Americano (small) | ~8 oz | 130–150mg | ~10 cal | Black coffee drinkers, more volume |
| Cold Brew (small) | ~12 oz | 150–200mg | ~14 cal | Smooth, low-acid, high caffeine |
| Latte (small) | ~12 oz | 60–75mg | Higher | Creamy, flavoured, lower caffeine |
| Drip Coffee (small) | ~12 oz | 95–120mg | ~5 cal | Traditional, quick, low cost |
| Mocha (small) | ~12 oz | 60–75mg | Higher | Chocolate, dessert coffee |
Note on caffeine: Espresso has more caffeine per ounce than drip coffee — but because the volume is so small, a double espresso has roughly the same total caffeine as a small drip coffee. Cold brew has the highest total caffeine of any Sheetz coffee drink due to its extended steeping process.
Is the Sheetz Double Espresso Worth It?
For the right customer, absolutely. Here’s who benefits most:
- People who need caffeine fast — No kiosk customization needed, small volume means it’s consumed quickly, and the caffeine hits faster than a large diluted drink.
- Calorie-conscious coffee drinkers — Approximately 10 calories for a meaningful caffeine dose is genuinely hard to beat anywhere.
- Coffee enthusiasts — If you appreciate good espresso, ordering it straight at Sheetz is a legitimate way to assess the quality of their espresso program before committing to a more complex drink.
- DIY drink builders — Buying a Double Espresso and building your own drink using the self-serve condiment station (oat milk, creamers, syrups) is consistently cheaper than ordering a full latte through the kiosk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sheetz have espresso?
Yes. Sheetz has a full espresso program available through the MTO kiosk — including Double Espresso shots, Americanos, lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, and cold brew. The same espresso base is used across all espresso drinks on the menu.
How much caffeine is in a Sheetz Double Espresso?
A Sheetz Double Espresso contains approximately 130–150mg of caffeine — comparable to a standard 12oz drip coffee. Because the volume is much smaller (about 2 oz), the caffeine is consumed more quickly.
How many calories are in a Sheetz Double Espresso?
The Sheetz Double Espresso has approximately 10 calories — one of the lowest-calorie items on the entire Sheetz menu. Adding milk, cream, or sugar will increase this.
Can I add milk to a Sheetz Double Espresso?
Yes. You can customize your Double Espresso at the kiosk to add milk or cream — turning it into a small macchiato-style drink. Alternatively, you can use the self-serve condiment station after ordering to add creamer from the bar.
Is a Sheetz Double Espresso the same as a doppio?
Yes. A doppio is the Italian term for a double espresso — two shots of espresso pulled together. The Sheetz Double Espresso is the same drink.
Can I add a Double Espresso to a Sheetz latte?
Yes. When ordering a latte through the MTO kiosk, you can add extra espresso shots — each additional shot beyond the default two adds a small charge. This effectively turns your latte into a stronger espresso-forward drink.
