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.

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.

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

[lelandrb]

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

[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

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

[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!

[cobbsta]

Combining science and art to coffee, a rare talent

[ctopp]

He kind of looks like Justin Timerlake

[Jo-elvanBergen]

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?

[stephankofler]

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

[jaytorr]

How come Justin timberlake knows so much about coffee??

[YoureSchmacked]

“How much further can you go?”

Me in 2024: Just wait

[abqc]

How come no one ever introduces the judges?

[slytechh]

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

I am obbesed with mathew's voice.

[fashionbiff]

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

[jaytorr]

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