Sugar Brown’s has put on a weekly latte art throwdown for the entire month of June.
A local photography enthusiast was kind enough to document the last two of them.
Here are a few photos from these two throwdowns. Enjoy!
The first four photos are from the first Sprodown. The rest are from the second.

This project is a work in progress
This is a great new probject from a gentleman named Mads-Ole Bak who lives in Denmark. The concept is to have all information about all national competitions all over the country consolidated into just one easy to find and navigate location. Brilliant!
He had this to say:
The purpose of the site is to make a thorough coverage of all the competitions that will be going on during the SCAE Wonderful Coffee exhibition in Copenhagen this summer.
We will have access to the competitions and SCAE have agreed to cooperate with us during the event, so we (hopefully) can make a very interesting site for everyone who would like to follow the competitions but are not able to be in Copenhagen.
In addition to the World championships, we would also like to collect a lot of information about all the national competitions. It has proven pretty difficult to find out who won the national championship. So we hope that some of you would like to help us if you know anything about national competitions that we should bring on WBConEspressoBar.
Please feel free to visit the site, register in our forum and post any information you might have in the “National Chapters” forum
We hope that you will find our site interesting and that we will be able to bring you a lot of good stuff during the competitions in June.
For some reason, national coffee associations have a hard time making competition information as easy to find as it could be.
It’s high time something like this came along.
