Espresso shot pullers: How long does your method take? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If espresso is Italian for fast, why does it take me so long to pull a perfect shot? Checkmate coffee

-Turning point Hoffman

I'm talking end-to-end from "Hmm, maybe it's time for an espresso" to when your beverage is ready to drink. All setup/pull/milk steaming time included.

I have a basic machine with no boiler, so heat up time is negligible. I'd say it's about 5 minutes for me to unpack my equipment, prep a puck, and pull a shot. Add maybe 2 minutes for each additional shot that's pulled consecutively. I don't tend to make milk drinks, so there's no extra time spent.

This assumes that I've already dialed in the grind.

A smart plug transformed my espresso usage, turn on it on when I get up from my bed, by the time I am downstairs its ready to go. If you have a regular time you get up you could even stick it on a timer. Even being able to turn it on from another room, even when I am on a call saves a few minutes of having to get up and turn it on.

Mine is on a smart plug, too. It helps a ton except for those times where I go "an espresso would be nice right now".

For that we need the big names to transition to themo coils or similar. I keep telling myself that I would save enough on electric to pay for a Bengle due to it not needing so much warm up time or being left on so long between shots...
