Coffee Masters: Where Passion Meets Precision

Welcome to Coffee Masters, the ultimate showcase of skill, knowledge, creativity, passion and personality in the world of coffee. 

Judged by a panel of industry figureheads, the fast-paced knockout battle format of Coffee Masters will see 16 baristas showcase their skills head-to-head across a broad range of disciplines. Each competitor will bring their unique blend of talents to the forefront, making this competition a celebration of the multifaceted artistry that defines a true Coffee Master.

What's new for Coffee Masters?

In 2024 we revamped the entry process, and now only shortlisted applicants are required to create an entry video. The shortlisted competitors demonstrate their skills by submitting a video showcasing a signature drink, giving the judges a glimpse of the magic they could bring to the stage in London.

Additionally, we announced that prizes will now be given to all 16 finalists, recognising the exceptional efforts of our participants
