What it is and what sets it apart: Not a 30 s dogma—signal with taste and weight. Differs from yield: time informs, weight defines the drink.
At the bar: Start timer with the pump → watch flow → cut at yield → compare to the coffee’s window.
Impact on the drink: Impact: flags too-fine/coarse grind even before tasting.
Technical notes: Often 25–35 s for many 1:2 espressos; tune for coffee and pre-infusion.
Common mistakes: Obsessing over 30.0 s while ignoring taste. Late timer start. Equating time with quality.
