World Barista Championship finals in Melbourne, Australia. Matt placed 2nd overall.

All the way through this I just wanted the background music to stop so I could actually hear the Barista talk! Why is it necessary, also the audio is only through the left speaker! Shame..

'He's grinding on an unusual grinder'. Today there's an EK in every other specialty coffee shop.

[@cherrybombcoffee]

Matt was ahead of the times!

[@mayurkulkarni1990]

haha true that

[@BensCoffeeRants]

I don't think it was unusual but unusual for espresso, it was mainly a filter / brew coffee grinder. Now we have more unimodal burr designs and a lot more choices.

[@exemonje]

Why would you think that this background music was a good idea?

[@baristamariotv]

simpler times...when a red bourbon and caturra could be the coffee of the top 2 places

[@breakdown2218]

Is the audio seriously in mono? Wtf?

[@tryggviorskarpheinsson2829]

+Solid Snack Good I'm not the only one.

[@jaytorr6701]

How come Justin timberlake knows so much about coffee??

[@lelandrb]

Really, really wish the music was mixed lower. Constantly competing with the guy's voice.

[@Anbaro99]

Does anyone know why he didn't take 1st? I've watched both Perger's and Licata's presentations and I'd say that Perger took it hands down. His descriptors, knowledge and assertiveness all seemed to be on point, whereas I saw Licata as being more noticeably stressed and vague.

[@musikus7092]

because of the music

[@TreacleMary]

Aw, Todd Terje 4:12! Number one in my book :)

[@Jo-elvanBergen]

***** What happened to the Finals video of Pete Licata, I can't find it anymore and when I try to view it from my watch history it says the video is restricted in my country (US). Did it get restricted intentionally?

[@ctopp5163]

He kind of looks like Justin Timerlake

[@richardcranium9415]

Both candy asses too! One sucks at singing and the other sucks at coffee.

[@YoureSchmacked]

“How much further can you go?” Me in 2024: Just wait

[@jaytorr6701]

I wish my wife looked at me once in her life the way the judge at the far right looks him...

[@cobbsta88]

Combining science and art to coffee, a rare talent

[@BensCoffeeRants]

Did he really come up with the Nutation style tamping? I used to do it years ago, not sure where I got it from!

[@stephankofler3984]

fantastic. but why didn`t he tok the first place?

[@ab4qc]

How come no one ever introduces the judges?

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

Music is P E R F E C T!

[@gilangpradipta1489]

what is song for minute 1 to 5 ?

[@slytechh]

The Judge on the right's southern region is definitely getting tropical over this guy.

[@villasukat]

SlyTech I was thinking the same thing.

[@thearmy1548]

I am obbesed with mathew's voice.

[@fashionbiff6620]

Ok I know less now then I did before but how cool is that.

[@johnduenas7211]

Anyone know the name of the song?

[@MikeBabineauxtastic]

Doin' It Right - Daft Punk

[@jaytorr6701]

She usually looks at me like the 8ne 8n the far left. Stone cold and constantly annoyed

[@LinhNguyen101010]

Flat whites, anyone? PS: I feel like Matt kinda cheated with the signature drink, time-wise. You're allotted 15 minutes to craft and present ALL your drinks. He could've made 3 drinks with the 3 different recipes, but surely that would've taken up more time.

[@hesonefunnyguy7363]

what ever happened to espresso....... this looks more like flavored iced tea......it should........ put hair on your chest............. and if you're a woman......... increase your bust size
