Cafe Pronto is a lovely simple espresso timer aimed at baristas. The perfect espresso is a combination of great beans, the perfect grind and just the right amount of time.....Cafe Pronto cant help you with the beans or the grind, but it can help you time your shots. Revel in the opiniated way it defaults to 27 seconds on first being installed (because every espresso enthusiast knows that it takes 27 seconds to pour a perfect 2oz espresso). Of course it lets you set the timer for your shots to be up to a minute. The timer also offers you the option of having "the pips" count you in, which avoids the awkward way you have to hit most stopwatch buttons at exactly the same time as you start pouring your shot. A single "pip" alerts you to the end of the timer when your espresso (or cafe) should be ready (pronto)
