Method
- Dose 18 g, grind noticeably coarser than a normal espresso setting.
- Use 6 bar or lower if your machine allows; otherwise standard 9 bar is fine.
- Pull 54 g in about 15 s.
- Expect a thinner, juicier shot with low bitterness and high clarity.
Coarse grind, low pressure, long ratio, short time. Turbo shots avoid channeling in dense light roasts and pull surprisingly high extractions.
