I use Black Cat and Vivace Dolce mostly and, in both cases, my shots
are probably 70-80% crema when first poured, maybe more. So I just go
for 1.5 - 2.0 oz TOTAL and then end up with a bit over an oz after it
settles out. As Randy said, if you keep pouring until you have your
target volume EXCLUSIVE of crema, you're gonna have a monster big shot
to contend with. And it'll likely suck.

With fresh beans in a properly pulled shot, if you waited until you
have one ounce of liquid below the crema, you could end up with a
three ounce single.. or more.

I am using " freshly roasted "beans from local micro roaster . Does this
mean that I adjust the grind till I get a liquid plus crema over the 1 oz
k in 25 secs so that when the crema settles , I end up with 1 oz of the
coffee minus the crema layer on the top ? Tks

Why would you give the crema time to collapse? Usually I shoot for 1-1.5 oz
of fluid with the crema being extra. I never let it sit long enough to let
the crema settle. Also, crema levels vary with Malabar Gold having the most
crema (IME), usually equalling the liquid volume while some coffees have
little crema (usually indicating old roast).
With that being said, do what tastes best for you. If a 2 oz of liquid shot
tastes better than a 1 oz shot then shoot for the better tasting volume.

You misunderstand what I am saying. I mean that the shot incl crema would
exceed the 1 oz in 25 secs depending on the amount of crema.
Also when would be the best time to stop the shot ? Is it just before the
crema becomes pale in color? Tks
