    Hi Tony,
    A single shot basket should have 30ml extracted in 25-30 seconds.A double shot basket would have 30ml coming out of either side in 25-30 seconds, or 60ml if you were to put just one cup underneath instead of two cups.
    An espresso shot should always be around 30ml, if it is only 15ml it would be a ristretto.
    Does that make sense, because it is easy for me to understand on this side.
    Let me know.
    thanks

    Its always seemed a bit vague this subject, this explanation states what I suppose should be the obvious but it isnt always that straight forward to put thoughts into plain english. Thanks for asking the question.

    Steve.

    Sooooo, my preference for 30 ml from a double basket in 30 seconds is in fact a double ristretto? I think.
    I would consider that a short ristretto (if that exists) and if you want to be snobish (and who doesnt) a doppio ristretto. ;D

    Here is the reply I got from my coffee machine retailer (VBM)

    Hi Tony,

    A double shot basket would have 30ml coming out of either side in 25-30 seconds, or 60ml if you were to put just one cup underneath instead of two cups.

    Ah well that depends on what sort of a double you are talking about I always use 18g so it doesnt get so watery, that said I am a big fan of the 20sec ristretto (40mls). But now we are getting to personal preference so there is no wrong answer.
    Guess we all agree on that.

    It is a double so you would be expecting 60ml which is not a gusher! Are you saying you should only extract 30mls from a double basket?
    Im not saying you should do anything, what I am saying is to my taste 60 ml in 30 seconds from a double basket (approx 14 grams) is pretty watery, my preference is double basket 30 ml in 30 seconds (liquid gold)

    A shot should take 25-30 secs for either 30ml from a single basket or 60ml from a double basket and I would assume 90ml from a triple basket.
    But you can obviously do whatever you prefer.
    I happen to like a single shot from a double basket (in around 15-20 secs) but if I am making coffee for me and my wife I just go with 2 singles from a double basket (in 25-30secs)

    My point exactly, is it 15 ml in the cup and glass for a total of 30 or 30 in each for a gushing total of 60?

    If it is an espresso then it should be around 30ml, 15ml would be shorter than a ristretto.
