Can you use Comandante for espresso?
The comandante grinder for espresso i started out grinding 19 grams of coffee at 10 clicks and was mighty impressed by the particle consistency at such a fine grind setting. However, my shot’s extraction time was way too slow. Not to be deterred, i reduced the dose to 17 grams and set the adjustment dial to 12 clicks. espresso brewing demands a fine grind, by balancing the taste and the speed of coffee extracting you are able to time your espresso shot and dial your coffee to taste.

Espresso needs fine, pour-over prefers medium, and cold brew works best with coarse grounds. Using the wrong grind size makes it harder to balance flavour.Even commercial machines struggle with espresso that has been ground too finely, leading to pressure problems, slow downs and damage to valves and mechanical parts.
Is a shot of espresso 1 or 2 oz?
A shot of espresso is considered to be one (fluid) ounce, while a double shot is two (fluid) ounces. A fluid ounce is 30 mL (as opposed to an ounce by weight being 28 g). Let’s say you are brewing a double shot espresso (1:2 ratio); you should expect the total ground coffee to equal 18 – 20 grams. Dosing your coffee also refers to correctly choosing your grind size, as your grind size will significantly impact your extraction yield and shot time.Regarding fluid ounces alone, it would take about eight espresso shots to fill a coffee cup. However, we strongly advise against drinking that much espresso. The per-ounce caffeine concentration of espresso (63 mg) is far higher than drip coffee (about 12 mg per fluid ounce).Considered too much for most healthy adults is drinking more than five to six single shots of espresso (or three double shots) daily. Health recommendations guiding no more than 400mg of caffeine daily provide the basis for this limit.Espresso is typically served in single or double shots, approximately 30ml or 60ml, respectively. Ristretto, being more concentrated, is usually about 15-20ml per shot, offering a bolder flavour in a smaller package.
What is the 2 1 rule for espresso?

What is the 30 second rule for espresso?
The 30-second extraction rule suggests that a well-balanced espresso shot should take approximately 25-30 seconds to extract when using 18-20 grams of ground coffee and yielding about 30-40 milliliters of espresso. The Golden Rule A reliable method for judging your extraction times is by following the “Golden Rule” which states that a double shot of espresso should result in about 2-2.The 10-second rule for espresso is a general guideline that suggests a well-brewed espresso shot should take around 10 seconds to start dripping from the portafilter. However, this rule is not always accurate, as factors such as coffee roast, grind size, and machine temperature can affect the brewing time.
