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.

It takes ~30sec to prepare an xl cup of instant coffee for me. It takes a minute for a cup of "turkish" coffee, or two minutes if I wait for it to settle down before pouring.

It's not great coffee, but I'd say it's above average.
