Hey, I’ve been working on a new espresso machine that could cut brewing time in half, but I’m stuck on how to keep the flavor profile consistent—got any thoughts?

That’s exciting, and I totally get the worry about keeping the taste steady when you rush it. First, make sure the grind size is consistent—if the beans are too fine or too coarse, even a quick shot can taste off. Second, keep the water temperature tight; a few degrees can shift the flavor profile a lot. A good trick is to use a short pre‑infusion; it wets the grounds slowly, so the pressure ramp‑up feels smoother. Then, set a strict pressure curve—if you hold the pressure steady in the first 20‑30 seconds, you’ll get a more predictable extraction. And don’t forget to run the machine a few times just to “tune” the settings before you start brewing for others. Small tweaks in grind, temperature, or pressure can make the difference between a consistent crema and a wild taste. Hope that helps!
