How do I pull turbo shots?
To pull turbo shots, follow these key steps:
- Grind Size: Use a coarser grind than traditional espresso (similar to what you’d use for Aeropress or a drip brewer).
- Dose: Aim for a typical espresso dose, around 18-20 grams of coffee.
- Pressure: Set your machine to around 6 bars of pressure.
- Extraction Time: Aim for a 7-15 second extraction, which is much shorter than the usual 25-30 seconds.
- Yield: Pull a 40-50 gram shot, focusing on a faster flow rate.
This method should produce a sweeter, more consistent espresso with higher extraction. Adjust the grind size and pressure to fine-tune based on your equipment.
