all hail fritz storm, the world's best barista!

the denmark native won today's world champion barista title in an international competition in norway. contestants were judged on a compulsory round of espressos and cappucinos. and they had a chance to wow the judges with their preparation of a signature novelty coffee drink to demonstrate their artistry.

fritz won with his creation, the cool lime. still, i'd like a round of applause for the lone female finalist, new zealand's emma markland-webster, of the morrison st. cafe, whose specialty drink contained a shining bit of 18-carat gold. more power to ya and better luck next year, emma! we're rootin' for you already. .
