The neat thing about espresso is the blending of science and art. There are many variables to control. Water quality, water temperature, the coffee, humidity, grind size, tamping pressure etc...
A proper barista will do everything the same every time, only adjusting the grind to compensate for other variables in the system.
The result when everything is perfect is the extraction of all the coffee goodness without the bitterness. It's the essence of the coffee bean in a one ounce cup. The GOD shot...

The GOD shot....after reading that post I started to shake. That would spoil me and I would find it hard to drink standard coffee after that.
