Coffee Waving makes Espresso better! Innovation at World Barista Championship

Felix is currently participating as the German Barista Champion in the World Barista Championship in Korea. Here is the link to the live stream. Official start time: 9:58 in Bern/Berlin and 16:58 in Busan, Korea.
Live stream: busan.wcc.coffee/ Expected on Channel 2.
In this video, we provide background information on Coffee Waving. We call Coffee Waving a realization that Felix had while preparing for the World Barista Championship. Felix vibrated the espresso after extraction using a vibration plate. This led to significantly better results. The texture, in particular, was greatly improved. The espresso became smoother and sweeter. After reaching this result in many blind tastings, we conducted measurements with the help of Prof. Chahan Yeretzian from ZHAW and Prof. Salentinig from the University of Fribourg. We discuss the results with the professors in this video. #coffeewaving #kaffeemacher

Do you think these results could be due to the vibrations popping crema bubbles, resulting in more solids swimming around in the coffee. I've never subscribed to the notion that an espresso needs to be enjoyed within a certain time frame. I've nursed an espresso for 45 minutes to an hour, taking a sip approximately 15 or 20 minutes apart.
