Espresso in a cream diner

The recipe
18.4 g in · 37 g out · 30 s · 95 °C
- Grind 18.4 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 37 g in 30 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
- Serve in the diner without waiting.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
