I mean, amount crema is basically just a function of time passed since roast date right? (I guess a bit of correlation with higher pressure/temp). No real indicator of quality and is very bitter so a lot of crema would just make a bitter shot.
Pressure helps. You can get a thick crema from pressurised porta filters but they don’t make good coffee.
