After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Matt Perger at WBC 2013
I thought it was worth opening a thread to discuss some of the ideas demonstrated by Matt at this years WBCs.
I tried the espresso extracted into frozen cups, the idea being to present a coffee at body temperature to open up the flavour profile.
My initial reaction was that the first thing I noticed was actually the cold touch of the porcelain to the lips, the second impression was that I noticed the extraction was much more like the wonderful pours from my Caravel - not surprising given that the open boiler design of the Caravel means coffee is extracted at a lower temperature than most modern espresso machines are capable of.
I am also interested in experimenting with longer super Lungos but I am not sure thats going to be possible with a Lever!
Here is the video of Matt's performance in the semis for those that havent seen it yet,
