The Northwest Regional Barista Competition - sponsored by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and hosted by Dillanos Roasters - is coming to the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center this weekend. Shot-pulling competitors from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho and Wyoming - along with a bevy of judges from across the country - will find themselves in Tacoma, surrounded by like-minded people just as passionate and devoted to the bean and its possibilities as they are. It'll be good to the last drop ... literally.
