If your espresso shots are pulling too short, what should you adjust?

Increase the water temperature
Reduce the amount of espresso used
Adjust the grinder to make the coffee grinds finer
Use a coarser grind in the grinder

The correct answer is: Adjust the grinder to make the coffee grinds finer

When espresso shots are pulling too short, it typically means that the water is going through the coffee grounds too quickly, resulting in an under-extracted shot that lacks depth and flavor. Adjusting the grinder to make the coffee grinds finer is an effective solution because finer grinds increase resistance to the flow of water. This provides a longer extraction time, allowing the water to interact more thoroughly with the coffee. Consequently, this leads to a fuller flavor profile and the desired shot volume. Finer grinds facilitate proper extraction by giving the water more surface area to work with, which is essential for achieving the balanced flavors typical of a well-pulled espresso shot. By making this adjustment, baristas can compensate for shots that are currently short and work towards pulling a shot that is richer and more robust in flavor.
