I start the timer when I activate the pump. A lot can happen during the first 5-8 seconds so it is good practice to time it to ensure the pre-infusion is consistent.

Adjustment in pre-infusion time has been the latest 'trend' in coffee the past couple of years. Some are going for 30+ second preinfusion followed by a slow ramped extraction. It's great for light roast and delicate coffee (e.g. geisha).
