How your espresso should look
Step One: After dosing  two shots of 7g of espresso ground coffee into your double spout group handle, tamping and wiping - insert the group into the group head. Use two espresso shot glasses (pictured) to extract your coffee into. After starting the group dispensing coffee, it should take 5 seconds for the first streams of espresso to emerge.
Step Two: Around 12 seconds, and if your espresso is extracting well you will see the start of the light brown crema on the surface.
Step Three: Around 16 seconds, the crema should be clearly visible now, and the "Guiness" effect should be visible as the espresso oils rise to the surface to give your crema substance.
Step Four: Around 22 seconds, your two fluid oz shot glasses should now be full to the line (or maybe in a few more seconds depending on your espresso bean blend.
Step Five: The prefect espresso, with golden brown crema.
