Free coffee & drinks tip: 36 g out, then wait for milk — not the other way (step 3 of 8 from "Café Latte at Home").
Dose 18 g, tamp, pull to ~36 g in 25–30 seconds into the serving cup. If the shot gushes or drips, fix grind tomorrow. Today, still steam the milk so you practice texture.
Do not let the shot sit five minutes while you fight the wand. Shot, then steam immediately. Espresso dies on the counter.
