Hi all,
I have been doing espresso for about a year now. I prefer capp's and typically make 2-3 daily. I have become much more consistent using a ceado e5p and gaggia classic (works for now) to where the cappuccino has great flavor but the first sip is almost always very bitter...

1. Is it true that you must reach the same flavour for single and double shot?
2. Is it true that you must extract both shots with the same brew time?
3. Correct my hypothesis. If I do not change any variables for both shots...
