    about the 35s, I thought it counts from the first second when anything come our the water.
    Maybe count it inconsistently.
    The count starts from the moment you pull the lever. Hot water is passing through the coffee the moment you activate the lever. The count is for how long the hot water is "brewing" the coffee. remember to immediately pull the shot the moment you lock the portafilter into the group.

      @Saoye,
      Thanks, I tried it this morning, and it seems increase the aromas and decrease the bitterness.
      Keep practising....
      (milk frothing is crap still, the KK style still does not work for me...I will read more carefully about the detail and watch video...)

        Absolutely a pleasure. Was just at a friends house this morning helping him with his new Rancilio Silvia and K3. Took 8 cups to get it right. Its a great feeling when you get a definite improvement in the cup. We are always chasing that perfect cup so just keep going its a constant improvement process.
        I guess the next video from you will be a milk texturing video

          Incidentally I used the rice method on the rancilio and it worked...what took the most effort was adjustment of the K3 grind. he had used half a bag of beans before I came a long and the grind was still way too coarse.

            Hey Colin we are determined to get you producing the goods from your Giotto.

            Regarding the KK method.

            Notes:

            1. Purge steam wand 
            2. Rest jug on drip tray
            3. Do a quick half turn to open steam tap to break surface followed by an immediate full turn to open up tap fully. The milk will rise by itself and go from stretching to swirling.
            4. Heat milk to no higher than 60o, and ensure you close the steam tap below the surface of the milk.
