another barista champion?

watch out seattle! a dedicated and maniacal canadian barista is out to rob you of the coffee capital prize.

this weekend vancouver's zlatan lakic, of caffe artigiano (flash required), stole the top barista honors at this year's seattle coffee fest by making his perfect drinks blindfolded. lakic, a bosnian refugee, began at the cafe as a busboy just two years ago.

after this win, lakic is determined to sweep the canadian 2003 championship, which will give him a seat at the 2004 world contest in rome.
