Espresso shot pullers: How long does your method take? (self.coffee)

If espresso is Italian for fast, why does it take me so long to pull a perfect shot? Checkmate coffee

I'm talking end-to-end from "Hmm, maybe it's time for an espresso" to when your beverage is ready to drink. All setup/pull/milk steaming time included.

I have a basic machine with no boiler, so heat up time is negligible. I'd say it's about 5 minutes for me to unpack my equipment, prep a puck, and pull a shot. Add maybe 2 minutes for each additional shot that's pulled consecutively. I don't tend to make milk drinks, so there's no extra time spent.

This assumes that I've already dialed in the grind.

My routine was to open the coffee machine, wait a bit or do something short, then grind, mix the ground coffee a bit, tamp it and brew a shot, simple as that. No more than 5 to 10 minutes.

It's not long, its about the right time I believe, since its not a commercial machine, that stays on all day long. And if we compare it to other types of coffees, still it must be faster.
