@[email protected] isn’t 320ml a little too much? Didn’t it came out too watered?

It is above most publicly accepted ratios. This is the one that works best with the water and process I use. I used to do like 21 to 360 or something, but this works out nice.
A bold experiment! The crema heavy espresso blends tend to have 20-40% Robusta content as this usually makes them a little milder / more forgiving and make more crema. I wouldn't anticipate this much Robusta would make for a very interesting pour-over. Assuming you have the ability to brew an espresso out of it, I would think it might taste better as a Lugo pull or an Americano than as a pour-over but that's just my guess.
Yeah, I'm going to espresso brew it tomorrow. I wasn't thinking of an Americano, just a straight shot. I have that ninja machine that's all the rage right now. It does the job. Will see.
I also noticed that the beans are shiny.
Made it as espresso. It definitely has a lot of crema. I'm still getting it dialed in. Tastes good, but I didn't think my palette is refined enough to say it taste different from other medium roasts. With that said, I didn't think I'll be getting another bag.
Palette sounds dialed in enough to agree with what most would say about super crema. Not unpleasant, quite drinkable, fairly forgiving to brew, but yeah not something that lights up your eyes. You noted the shiny beans, best to avoid those types of roasts (typically over roasted). Try a local roaster if you haven't already, might not have a dedicated espresso blend but can ask which bean they recommend for good espresso.
