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.
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,
