A double espresso in Italy is around one ounce, but in the U.S. it is 1-2 ounces. There are 2 tablespoons in an ounce; 20 tablespoons in a cup and 8 ounces in a cup.

How Many Ounces in an Espresso Cup?

An espresso cup is usually about 2 inches (5 centimeters) tall and 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, so height is about twice the diameter.

1 oz of espresso is an average serving size for a normal sized cup, but do you really want to drink 1 oz of espresso? I can tell you that after drinking a normal sized cup of espresso, I feel like I’m going to jump out of my skin. I like to drink 2-3 oz. of espresso in a normal sized coffee cup, and I drink it really slowly. Of course, I have a higher tolerance to caffeine than most people, but I think it is a good idea to start with a small amount and work your way up to find out what your ideal serving size is.
