Ristretto and lungo

Shorter and longer shots

Same dose, different yield. The ratios are Whole Latte Love's and common café practice; Profitec gives none.

1. Dose 18 g in the 2-cup basket for both.
2. Ristretto: stop at 18 to 27 g, about 15 to 20 seconds. Grind a touch finer if it runs fast.
3. Lungo: grind a little coarser, so the longer shot does not choke.
4. Run the lungo on to about 54 g, around 30 to 40 seconds.

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