Walk along any specialty espresso bar and you may spot an espresso extraction mirror - a small round glass - under the group head. It shows the shot from below - the stream, the blonde-ing, the moment to cut - without the barista crouching to peer at the bottomless portafilter. A small tool, but it changes how consistently a team pulls shots.
An extraction mirror mounts at the drip tray and reflects the underside of the group head into the barista's eyeline. During the shot, the barista sees channeling, uneven flow and colour change in real time - the feedback that usually requires a bottomless portafilter and a bent back. For training new baristas, it shortens the feedback loop from days to shifts.
• Barista training: trainees watch the shot while practising distribution.
• Quality control: senior staff spot channeling before the cup leaves the bar.
• Customer theatre: at open bars, guests see the extraction too.
