Northwest regional that includes Alaska, Washington and Portland has a new champion, Billy Wilson, from Albina Press in Portland, Oregon.
His jellylike pearls signature drink is call, "Espresso Caviar", which I guess looks similar to these little globules. These tiny coffee flavored babies require a syringe to produce, it is quite interesting (thanks to Ben from Chemically Imbalanced for many informative links).
According to one of the top finishers, Kyle Larson from Stumptown Coffee Roasters predicts a tough challenge for all competitors at the US Barista Competition in Long Beach, CA next April. So I guess there will be 3 finalists from NWRBC and 3 finalists from GLRBC fighting for the crown of the USBC 2007. : )
