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.

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?)
