Kalle Freese Finnish Barista Champ in 2013.

The Finnish Barista Champion 2013 Kalle Freese on Vimeo, using “Sommelier Cup” espresso. He brew his espresso in ordinary cups by the rules to show the crema and then decant into the “Sommelier Cup”  espresso to bring out the best aromas from the coffee. The crema is not tasting very good but gives you the more full bodied texture. In the “Sommelier Cup” espresso,  crema and coffee blends and you can rotate the coffee in the cup as for wine in a wine glass, as a result of that your espresso smells and taste much greater and richer. You can actually smell and taste aromas in your espresso that is impossible in an ordinary container, sorry cup.
