Turbo Shots vs. Standard Shots

Grind Size:

Pressure:

Extraction Time:

  • Turbo shots extract in 7-15 seconds, significantly faster than the 25-30 seconds of a standard shot.

Yield:

  • Turbo shots often result in a sweeter, more consistent cup, whereas standard shots focus on a richer, more intense flavor profile.

Focus:

  • Turbo shots emphasize flow rate and even extraction, while standard espresso relies more on pressure and grind fineness for flavor control.
