(staff photo by Matt Roth)..Closing out the day-long Barista Jam at the soon-to-be-opened Spro Coffee shop in Hampden, a few of the attendees participated in a latte-art "throw down" Saturday, February 13, 2010. Two lattes are paired side-by-side and the winner of the two is pushed forward. The losing drink is poured in a bowl -- or in the case of one drink, sipped by judge Anisha Jagtap. There were two judges, Jagtap, who's hand is pushing the winning drink, and Scott Conary, not seen, from Chapel Hill, NC. He coached Jagtap, owner of Hampden desert shop, Puffs and Pastries, in their decisions. Being the chair of the United States Barista Competition, his opinions were better formed. The winning latte was made by Phil Proteau, who was on hand to teach the Jam's Latte Art Workshop.
