The question on everyone’s lips? Who will be crowned this season’s top latte artist? Things are looking good for cycle finalists Leslie Ruckman (Bellano Coffee), Taylere Yamamura (Saint Frank Coffee), and Selina Viguera (Blue Bottle Coffee), while underdog Dufus Von Twattington (Independent) is woefully behind.

Thousands of dollars worth of prizes include aย UNIC Rumba Home Espresso Machine, sweetย Baratzaย grinders, admission toย Barista Camp, awesomeย Espresso Partsย trophies, and an exclusive featurette on Sprudge.com.
