Thanks for the tips Mal. Ive never tried pulling a ristretto before but I think Ill give it a shot.

. If you use a double basket and pull 50ml then youll simply get two cups worth of strong complex espresso; if you use the same volume of ground coffee but only pull 20ml, or even 10ml, then youll obviously get a less strong drink but what you do get will taste quite different to the 50ml profile - you can only decide which flavour profile you prefer. If you use a bottomless PF and want to make two cups, I pull the shot into a measuring shot glass and pour it evenly between the two cups; not ideal in terms of temperature retention and it can be a bit messy but it works.
