The Liquid Donut

This from Coffee Geek, a site for aficionados of ... well, coffee, obviously.

I can't help but admire those who enter the barista championships and work hard to develop their signature drinks. On the other hand, it must be nice to have the time to be that self-indulgent! I can't quite imagine using liquid nitrogen in our coffee prep here at North Star, as the Australian national barista champion apparantly did with his winning creation - it'd mean you having to wait longer for your order (did I just hear someone say even longer???).

UK barista champ, James Hoffman came up with this extraordinary creation - The Liquid Donut - an odd and fascinating coffee concept, though in the same way that many of the outré confections that appear on the fashion catwalks of Milan are too outlandish for our proletariat tastes, there is little commercial potential for a coffee that takes this much trouble to put together.

I am, however, thinking of creating a North Star equivalent - this would involve a donut that you dunk in your latte! Any takers?
