However, you can change how much liquid you wish per shot by holding down the brew button (espresso or the lungo button).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.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.
