I think they should just find a way to put small cameras in out of the way spots on the machine. I'm sure well made videos of the WBC with up close shots of dosing/tamping/pulling/pouring would make quite a bit of profit

Well then NEXT year, maybe they can have a few cameras with some telephotos set up behind the judges? I have a Nuova Simonelli machine and was bummed that I couldn't see the winning pull. Do you know of anywhere we can get a clearer shot?

That was the most amazing video of the back of a Nuova Simonelli espresso machine at work.

@sbrandes2001 theres no space for a spectator around where he is working, without getting in both his way and the technical judges. kinda sucks though cause yeah the vid would be better if you could get in there.
