I just got a new espresso machine and it only can make espresso from pods. I’m used to grinding, tamping and pulling my own shots. But my question is can I pull more than 1 shot with 1 espresso pod? I usually pull 3 shots of espresso for my drinks (combined with milk). I guess I just want to know if I should pull 3 shots from 3 pods or can I pull multiple shots from 1 pod? Thanks, take care.

I have a Breville 800 Espresso machine, and when I use ground beans the water will flow out at a steady stream and I can make a short or long shot easily. However I just started using some ESE pods with the machine, and instead of a steady stream the water drips out and will only make a small shot. No matter how long I leave the maching running, no more espresso will come out of the filter holder. Is this normal?

Also yes I made sure I was using the correct filter labeled “pod”. Thanks for any help.
Not that I want a longer shot, it just sounds like the machine is really stressing to make the shot and I want to make sure im not doing any damage and that what im experiencing is normal operation with ESE pods.
