That clip is showing the filter coffee brew function, not espresso. Brewing filter coffee in an espresso machine actually sounds like it'd be nice on occasion. Side note -- I find it funny that you'd assume the guy that designed an espresso machine and grinder doesn't know what espresso looks like; on the flip-side, why no espresso pull money shot???

That’s a charitable take. There’s a picture at the end of the page that shows coffee dripping with much lower flow rate in the „filter mode”. The upper one however looks like low pressure attempt at an espresso, which makes me question whether the machine can actually do the advertised 10 bar.

It's honestly not necessary. We espresso drinkers can already do that - it's called an Americano.

Americano definitely tastes different than pour over -- I make both all the time

It tastes different! Filter is fundamentally extracting an entirely different way
Google "bottomless portafilter shot" for how it's supposed to look.
