Ristretto, normale, and lungo may not simply be the same shot stopped at different times (which could result in an under- or over-extracted shot), but have the grind adjusted (finer for ristretto, coarser for lungo) to achieve the target volume.

Nevertheless, a rough guide is a grounds-to-liquid brewing ratio of 1:1 for ristretto, 1:2 for normale, and 1:4 for lungo. [6] Assuming ristretto is a more concentrated espresso coffee, a ristretto solo is thus 15–20 ml (0.5 fl oz) (the foamy crema slightly increases this volume), normale is 30 ml (1 fl oz), and lungo is 60 ml (2 fl oz
