Last Updated: 2025/08/21, In the normal extraction state, the coffee starts to flow out 7-9 seconds after you press the extraction button. 7 seconds is enough time for you to put the coffee cup under the handle. If you press the button, the coffee will roll out. This cup of coffee is either too light or too sour, and it is definitely not a satisfactory cup of coffee. If you haven't set the cup, don't set it up, saving you from washing the cup. Front

In the normal extraction state, the coffee starts to flow out 7-9 seconds after you press the extraction button. 7 seconds is enough time for you to put the coffee cup under the handle. If you press the button, the coffee will roll out. This cup of coffee is either too light or too sour, and it is definitely not a satisfactory cup of coffee. If you haven't set the cup, don't set it up, saving you from washing the cup.

As we said earlier, the extraction time of espresso should be about 20 seconds. This more than 20 seconds does not start from the moment you press the extraction button, but from the moment you press the extraction button. During these 20 seconds, the amount of coffee flowing out should be about 20 milliliters.

First of all, although espresso has its own quantitative definition, but on the premise of meeting the basic conditions, I think it is necessary to decide when to stop the extraction according to the taste of the coffee in the cup, rather than rigidly copying a few values.

Secondly, in addition to some of the equipment I mentioned above, there are also some entry-level or coffee-like equipment on the market, which are also produced by regular manufacturers, and the quality of their products can be guaranteed, but it is still difficult to get satisfactory espresso, such as Cankun's 1817 coffee machine and Delong EC-155. Some of these coffee machines are small stainless steel boilers and some are heating block technology. But most of them use pressurized double-layer filters, and the extracted coffee can only be said to be similar to Italian coffee in appearance, but it is acceptable to play with it when your money is limited. My first decent coffee machine was also 1817, which was eliminated after less than half a year of service. If you want to make a decent espresso at home, I recommend that you do not have such a "transition" product.

In addition, although it is your Italian coffee machine that directly makes coffee, the importance of coffee mill is far more important than coffee machine to some extent, so you must not ignore coffee mill. When you consider your budget, you must consider coffee mill. No matter how good the coffee machine is, it is impossible to make good coffee without a suitable mill.

These are some of my experiences in making espresso. Hope that the majority of coffee lovers after reading this article, can provide some reference for further practice, less detours, less beans.
