Pros of Turbo Shots:
-
Faster Extraction: With a brewing time of 7-15 seconds, turbo shots are much quicker than traditional espresso.
-
Sweeter Flavor: Turbo shots tend to bring out the sweetness and clarity of coffee due to the even extraction from coarser grinds.
-
Higher Extraction Yields: Coarser grinds allow for more even extraction, reducing channeling and increasing yield consistency.
-
Versatile for Lighter Roasts: Light and medium roasts shine with this method, enhancing fruity and floral notes.
Cons of Turbo Shots:
-
Lighter Body: The faster extraction can result in a lighter body compared to traditional espresso.
-
Not Ideal for Dark Roasts: Turbo shots may amplify bitterness in darker roasts due to faster solubility.
-
Requires Experimentation: Adjusting grind size, pressure, and extraction time can take some practice, making it less beginner-friendly.
