May the Best Barista Win!

Have any of you crazy coffee lovers out there checked out this years World Barista Championships? They are going on as we speak, and you can catch it streaming live on the web, post haste! What you will see are some impressive coffee and espresso brewing skills that may blow your mind. The individual competing has to make four espressos, four cappuccinos, and four signature drinks in 15 minutes- do not try this at home! You will also see some intense creativity, like last years winner, who flambeed a chocolate mousse and blueberry espresso signature drink table side for the judges. I am awed, inspired... and a little jealous.
