Has anyone pulled any great shots with this?
I bought 5 lbs on the description and I cannot for the life of me get a shot that isn't mouth puckering. Tried 12-21g, 196-204 deg. Even lowered my brew pressure.
Nothing. I'm into pound 2 and I haven't had a good shot.
Any help?

My experience was/is the same as yours. Straight shots are much closer to white grapefruit then strawberry. I only bought one lb & have been using it up in milk drinks which is what they originally designed the blend for.

Well, good to know it's not just me. You can bet that's the last time I'm buying 5lbs of a blend without prior reviews and tastings.
Lesson learned. I don't really care for it in milk either. Found out yesterday it drinkable as an americano.
