Ristretto and lungo

Shorter and longer shots

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

  1. Dose 18 g for both and put the cup in.
  2. Ristretto: switch off at 18 to 27 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 54 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.
