Ristretto and lungo

Shorter and longer shots, on the two doses

The Dream keeps two doses: set one short and one long. The ratios are Whole Latte Love's drinks and common café practice.

Prepare the same dose as for your espresso and put the cup on scales.
Ristretto: hold the switch down and let go at 1 to 1.5 times the dose, about 15 to 20 seconds.
Lungo: grind a little coarser so the longer shot does not choke.
Hold the switch up and let go at about 3 times the dose, around 30 to 40 seconds.

Each hold re-programs that position, so put your everyday espresso on the one you use most.
