Thanks for this, its reassuring that your description of the coffee shots from Kaminsky is exactly what i found. I thought there was more complexity to come if i could get up to tbat 24% extraction, but maybe not. I don't think i'll persue this any further - the whole process and the resultant drink also looks so unappealing.
Batch brewing is so good with machines like the Marco Jet now. Add in the queue-busting service speed and fool proof operation and its a no brainer really.

It was me! Yeah, as far as I know Bulldog are on batch brews now. I had some absolutely killer coffee shots, but like you said the consistency wasn't there. It defo suited some coffees more than others. We found that everything just kind of ended up tasting the same. Like a coffee shot. We had them on bar as it was supposed to produce a more consistent result than hand brewing, but I think it would have taken much more fiddling about to get good results, and a well dialled batch brew is a preferable method to hit consistently tasty brews quickly!

I heard Bulldog Edition have stopped doing coffee shots and got a batch brewer. Might go back then! The few I tried were dreadful. Went to Ben Kaminsky's class/tasting about them and at best they tasted sweet with a big mouthfeel, but had lost all the acidity resulting in a real unbalanced flatness.
It's a shame because it felt like that was just a starting point, but from what I've heard people just couldn't get them consistent on the bar.
(Someone on here used to work at Bulldog right?)
