  „Control of this brew time is of paramount concern to ensure great tasting espresso and the correct crema. In fact unless a single shot is brewed within this time frame it simply isn't espresso. There's no such thing as the 5, 10 or 15 second espresso! Without the correct brew time you don't extract the right solubles from the coffee grounds and nor do you produce the classic espresso emulsion formed by the lipid fraction and so important to the aroma, mouthfeel and appearance of the crema.“
