How to Dial in Turbo Shots?

Dialing in turbo shots involves balancing grind size, pressure, and extraction time to optimize flavor and consistency. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Grind Coarser: Start with a grind size that's coarser than traditional espresso, similar to a drip coffee grind.
  2. Adjust Pressure: Set your machine to around 6 bars of pressure.
  3. Extraction Time: Aim for a 7-15 second extraction time.
  4. Yield: Pull a 1:2 to 1:3 ratio (e.g., 18g coffee in, 36-54g out).

Taste and adjust grind or extraction time based on sourness or bitterness. Finer grinds for more sweetness, coarser for clarity.
