Release handle after 6-8 seconds. Collect 2 oz. espresso in the cup. For larger Americana, add hot water from the same machine. Have you descaled your espresso machine lately? It is the single, most important maintenance for all espresso machines. CleanCaf sold at Zabar and Starbucks stores is labeled as a descaler but it is not.
