I've got a stand at a local farmers market doing espresso, americanos, caps, lattes, etc with my GS3/Super Jolly and am looking for a good way to speed up my workflow with this Singlegroup beast.

I'm already 8 weeks in and things have been going really well, but I get swamped early in the morning and would like suggestions for kicking out drinks faster.  The doser on my SJ slows things down but the worst is pulling a shot and just standing around waiting to complete the extraction while I could be dosing the next.  
Everyone always seems to talk about using multiple baskets but efficiently dosing into just a basket would result in quite the mess and then scraping out pucks since I can't knock them would be painful.  

I know alternating 2 portafilters would result in cooler temp extractions since the portafilter would have some time away from the grouphead, but would that result in significant enough temps to be too concerned with the GS3?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
