That'll cook the beans, making them less flavorful. The water has to 
be less than boiling. When I'm making espresso on my Syvia, the 
single-boiler means I have to wait for the boiler to cool down after 
steaming the latte.

It'll also mean you have less pressure to force through the beans. So 
essentially your espresso making is less than ideal.

Kind of like using a Leica body but a Soviet MIR lens.
