I forgot the name of the machine but it is similar to this one on the left side with 2 slots. Ive only worked there 2 times since I've just started but when pushing the lever to let the espresso flow, its takes around 10 seconds.

Ive worked in an other coffee bar the last 6 months and learned quite a bit about coffee – one thing being the fact that the machines they used there (modern barista machines) take 27 seconds for the espresso to finish and that it is crucial to adjust the grain size if its below 22 or over 32 seconds. they explained the coffee extraction time to me and showed me these charts. looking at them its kind of obvious that everything under 15 seconds is under-extracted.

so now Ive worked in the new place twice and made an espresso and was very surprised to see it come out that fast. can an espresso shot be good if the coffee extraction is that short? maybe its different with old machines, I dont know.
