Barista Champion!
By kmikeym from October 22, 2006
The 2006 Northwest Regional Barista Competition is over and Portland did very well. The six finalists were written on a white board: Billy, Kyle, Lindsey, Jon, Maki, and Kevin. Klaus Thomson, the reigning World Barista Champion, was the MC and after what seemed like a never-ending run of "thank yous" and mentions of sponsors, he finally announced the winners!
We here at UrbanHonking congratulate Albina Press for taking home two of the top three spots and cementing Portland's reputation as the home of coffee-culture in the northwest! (the specific winners are announced in the video below)

It was this charity where they designed and built these bikes for the coffee farmers. Something like that. It seemed cool, but it was briefly mentioned in the LONG list of thanks and sponsors. This bike was the prototype I think.
