Very good video! Espresso is such a glorious black hole. No matter how much we try to simplify, it’s still so complex. Videos like this that just focus on the most important factors are very helpful. Thx!

Excellent video, full of lots information that can be followed to help us home baristas to better our espresso and identify the problem areas. Thank you. Looking forward to your next educational video.

You missed a discussion about how to factor pre-infusion time into the "drop time" and "shot time". Online there are all manner of interpretations and recommendations on how to do this. But which one is correct? Do you include pre-infusion time into the shot time, or exclude it? This becomes increasingly important guidance as more and more machines offer pre-infusion capabilities!

Real question. Love the channel.

Has Clive Coffee partnered with Mistobox? The bags we have for shipping read "Mistobox + Clive Coffee"

(Sorry, a bit [way] off topic. Haha)

May i ask if a espresso is a shot or a double shot?

This is not quite up to the scientific rigidity (or ok, _nerdiness_ ) I've come to expect from this kind of analysis. For one, you're using a quite wide definition of "look, " seemingly including measuring time and volumes... that's much, much more than a "look" to me. What I was really expecting and hoping for, was some blinded testing of shots, first rating them by looks and then (after randomizing and blindfolding) by taste. What you got here, is more like a general "parameters to consider" video, which are useful, that's true, but also a dime a dozen.

The music is too loud. It's intrusive rather than adding to the video.
