Congratulations to Kei Hamada of Japan, who won the Latte Art World Championship held over the weekend here in Seattle. 64 barristas competed to see who could pour the best swan and rosettas. Cole McBride of Visions Espresso repped Seattle strong, securing third place honors. Jesse Nelson of Conduit Coffee Company did one better, scoring second in the espresso pull competition.
