Was wondering when to start timing, I’m using a scale without a built in timer

Edit: I’ve tried timing from button press today, it seems like the Breville Barista Express runs at or around 25 seconds default from button press

    My machine has a built in timer that starts with the button press, and I find more intuitive to start timing when the water makes contact with coffee, as the first drop means nothing in itself.

    But as long as you are consistent from pull to pull, you should be able to choose one way or another without worries :) as another commenter said, taste is the target

      Yep, from the first button press, because it’s easier, an it doesn’t really matter which you do as long as it’s the same each time.
