What happens if you put auto-drip coffee grind into an espresso machine?

Sorry for the dumb question.

It depends on how finely ground it is. You're certain to end up with more fluid than you'd get in an espresso shot. It's a wild guess but I'd say a 25 second pull (which normally yields output ranging from 1.25 oz to 2.25 oz for a ristretto or a standard double) might yield as much as 8 oz of liquid. It would taste different than a regular drip coffee but not like an espresso.  Probably would taste a bit on the watery side, maybe even slightly sour due to underextraction.

A Cafe Crema is made by grinding an espresso blend coffee coarser than one would for  espresso but finer than one does for drip coffee, tamping normally and doing a pull of identical length to what one would use for an espresso. The result is typically about 6 oz of liquid for the same amount of grounds that would yield a 2 oz espresso.
