Ristretto and lungo

Shorter and longer shots

Same dose, different yield. Bezzera gives no ratios; these are Whole Latte Love's drinks and common café practice.

1. Dose 20 g for both and put the cup in.
2. Ristretto: switch off at 20 to 30 g, about 15 to 20 seconds.
3. Lungo: grind a little coarser so the longer shot does not choke.
4. Run the lungo on to about 60 g, around 30 to 40 seconds.

A ristretto is sweeter and heavier, a lungo lighter and more bitter. Stop a lungo early if it turns harsh.
