She said she was updosing, so the puck is presumably up against the shower screen. This is going to lead to low dwell times regardless, and may minimize the difference a gicleur makes (less space to fill up with water).

You make a good point, but still, I believe ~2.5 sec dwell time is impossibly short with small gicleur.
