Very good video! Espresso is such a glorious black hole. No matter how much we try to simplify, it’s still so complex. Videos like this that just focus on the most important factors are very helpful. Thx!

Awesome! We are so glad that it was helpful to you!

I love to follow you, you are amazing and your explanation of things related to coffee is more than wonderful ،،،،، Best regards 💐

You missed a discussion about how to factor pre-infusion time into the "drop time" and "shot time". Online there are all manner of interpretations and recommendations on how to do this. But which one is correct? Do you include pre-infusion time into the shot time, or exclude it? This becomes increasingly important guidance as more and more machines offer pre-infusion capabilities!

That's a great point! We will address this in a future video. For now, I would recommend watching this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHqIp6VyYKbLgJM.html It addresses shot time. The truth is, the number of seconds that it takes for your shot to pull doesn't really matter. Drop time will absolutely change when using pre-infusion.

I love your videos! Thank you for this video. Also, I live this glass coffee shot. Where can I get them?

the thread sustaining the bag!!! hahahaa😀

Nice and concise!

@@Mispelledluis It can be made with both. It depends on how you want to construct the drink for how much espresso you want.

This is not quite up to the scientific rigidity (or ok, _nerdiness_ ) I've come to expect from this kind of analysis. For one, you're using a quite wide definition of "look," seemingly including measuring time and volumes... that's much, much more than a "look" to me. What I was really expecting and hoping for, was some blinded testing of shots, first rating them by looks and then (after randomizing and blindfolding) by taste. What you got here, is more like a general "parameters to consider" video, which are useful, that's true, but also a dime a dozen.

The music is too loud. It's intrusive rather than adding to the video.
