Specifically, a double ristretto is a double shot that has been calibrated to use the same dosage of coffee, extract in the same 20 - 30 second window and produce a powerful, condensed shot with a total volume of 1 - 1.5 oz (depending on your tastes). If you have an espresso-grade grinder, you can do this with any non-pressurized espresso machine by altering your grind and tamp. Watch as Jess pulls a double ristretto using the Saeco Via Venezia, Baratza Vario and non-pressurized portafilter upgrade. Yummy times were then had by all.
