    I remember joking with friends about virtual WBC on the Wii. You could pour latte art and tamp with the wiimote. Play as a current competitor, a previous champion, a coffee legend, or make your own character.

    That would be great, if only to be able to watch Klaus kicking Kaldi’s ass in a deathmatch.

    I’ve been thinking about doing a comic panel on barismo for quite some time now, but it’s never really materialized. I have a few panels worth of material but am missing the artistic prowess to back it up. I need a Crumb to my Pekar.

    Ha finally a game for barista’s to match the glory of “Full City – Virtual Roaster” that roasters once queued for hours to buy. . .
