After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Video Tutorials
Video tutorials are a good idea, they seem to be well received on other forums, i.e. Coffeegeek and Coffee Snobs, particularly those relating to Coffee art and how to's, as in maintenance, pulling shots, steaming milk etc. ;Don 1314601618:In terms of feedback, there are a couple which I thought I'd include whole - they pretty much go to the 'philosophy' of Crema... bottom line is they are quite valid and I certainly am happy that we try and be more accessible to 'newbies' and those who are still in a learning' phase...
thought I'd post them more-or-less verbatim and then make a second post with some thought of my own in a second post [below]; anyway, for a start, here are a couple of the comments:
[li]"One of the first questions I asked when I first signed up to Crema was "Am I in the right place, seems very industry focused to me?" I feel the question is still valid, most of the regular posters are working in the coffee industry and have a vast knowledge re all things coffee, this shows in the forum and can be quite intimidating to a newcomer, not suggesting we dumb down posts, however somehow we need to reach the home barista in language that won't overwhelm them."[/li]
.[li]"Crema could include a 'tutorial' or 'webinar' section (I have avoided using 'masterclass' for obvious reasons!) where from time to time special industry guests post a 3 or 4 min video of something coffee related that we'd all like to see.. Sometimes you can read and practice, but seeing something then trying it at home yourself would make a huge difference. It could even be a sponsor demo-ing a grinder or a machine. I don't want to send people who hold barista courses broke but little bits would do it I reckon. "[/li]
