Your godshot, is just that. What YOU expect your best espresso to be. Nothing more, nothing less.

In my world it's totally different. Godshots are not common place, much more than that. The rare times I call a godshot it's because the shot exceeds what I expect of my best espresso in everyway imaginable and ways I previously couldn't imagine. And then the bar is set that much higher before the next godshot. What was once a godshot becomes an expected reachable target. Hitting that target again isn't another godshot rather simply hitting the known target. Good to excellent shots may be commonplace but not godshots.

Exactly!

Unless one is using very antiquated equipment, like old Italian lever machines and German hand grinders. A little Mozart for accompaniment and they're almost all God shots.
