When Valor Coffee posted that they were testing batch espresso, it got us thinking about the "shots die" rule and whether any of that actually holds up in a blind taste test. We get into the tradeoffs, the perception problem on the cafe side, and what you're really giving up when you pull the barista further from the drink.
