A typical latte usually contains one or two shots of espresso, depending on the size and the café's standards.

• A small latte often has one shot of espresso (about 30 ml), which is the base of the drink mixed with steamed milk

• Medium lattes generally have one to two shots, with two shots being common in many cafés to maintain a strong coffee flavor balanced with milk

• Large lattes typically contain three shots of espresso, and some extra-large sizes may have four shots for a stronger caffeine kick

At Starbucks, for example, a 12 oz (tall) latte usually has one shot, while larger sizes like 16 oz or 20 oz often have two shots or more

. In summary, the standard number of espresso shots in a latte ranges from one to two shots for most sizes, with larger drinks sometimes having three or more shots. You can also customize the shot count based on your preference for strength and caffeine content
