Press Coffee is hosting a Latte Art Throwdown on Friday, April 8, 2016. The event will be hosted at the new Press Coffee Roastery at 4844 S. 40th St., in Phoenix. The entry fee is $5 for all competing baristas, and you should sign up by 6:45 pm on April 8th. The event is free

Just received these photos by Kristine Morgan (@kristinemorgan) of the recent PHXTNT throwdown for publication. Excellent photos! Love the style and processing. Thanks for letting us see them. Perry Czopp emailed them over, saying that the “event was a smashing success with a 32 barista bracket and many more who came to watch and have fun.”

I missed the event at Altitude Coffee Lab last night, unfortunately. But, I was able to jump online this morning for a rundown of the event on Twitter and Instagram. There was a huge crowd last night, from the photos. First, this awesome video from Bryan Schiele showing Seth Mills pouring a latte. Below: Caught @sethmills

I finished my meetings yesterday and decided to go and get a cappuccino and a sandwich. I stumbled into Sip Coffee & Beer House on an empty stomach, and left happy. Patrick, over at Sip, made this lion art in my cappuccino. Not bad!
