If espresso is Italian for fast, why does it take me so long to pull a perfect shot? Checkmate coffee

I'm talking end-to-end from "Hmm, maybe it's time for an espresso" to when your beverage is ready to drink. All setup/pull/milk steaming time included.

I have a basic machine with no boiler, so heat up time is negligible. I'd say it's about 5 minutes for me to unpack my equipment, prep a puck, and pull a shot. Add maybe 2 minutes for each additional shot that's pulled consecutively. I don't tend to make milk drinks, so there's no extra time spent.

This assumes that I've already dialed in the grind.

Heat up is slow for me, around 20 minutes, but I have it connected to a smart plug so I can fire it up remotely before I want it.
That's the downside of dual boilers and E61, I guess...

Making the coffee itself is quite quick: Probably 3-4 minutes. That "slow" because I have the machine far away from the sink so I need to go back and forth a few times extra.
If I have a nordic roast, I would probably have to add a minute on average just to clean up the potential spray.
