A shot of coffee generally contains around 2 grams of coffee beans. However, this can vary depending on the type of coffee beans used, the grind size, and the brewing method.<\/p>\n

A shot of coffee is typically around 30mL. To convert grams to mL, we will need to know the density of coffee beans. According to this website, the average density of coffee beans is 0.64g\/mL. Therefore, a shot of coffee would contain around 19.2 grams of coffee beans.<\/p>\n

How many beans are in a coffee shot? <\/h2>\n

The ‘Standard’ Answer<\/p>\n

Industry standard for a single shot of espresso coffee is seven grams of beans per cup. That’s about 56 roasted coffee beans in shot of coffee (green beans weigh much more than roasted coffee beans).<\/p>\n
