Everyone in coffee in the US is obsessed with the USBC, but a couple without blinders on (not me - my blinders were full on and narrow) are also noting that Australia had their championships as well.

And I'm pleased to say my friend David Makin is once again the Australian Barista Champion! Here's some photo loveliness from the event. From the looks of things, it was a nice, tight event, and it explains why a lot of my fave Aussies weren't in Minneapolis.

Congrats David, and best of luck in Copenhagen!
