We are so pleased to announce Coffee Masters, a new fast-paced, multi-disciplinary barista competition launching at The London Coffee Festival 2015.

This exciting new event will see top baristas from across the globe competing head-to-head for the prestigious Coffee Master title and a £5,000 cash prize.

Judged by a panel of key industry figure heads, the knockout championship will see 16 baristas showcase their skills across a broad range of diciplines over three days. These include: Cupping, Brewing, Latte Art, The Order Challenge, The Signature Drink and The Espresso Blend.

“Coffee Masters at The London Coffee Festival 2015 provides a fresh and unique opportunity to raise the profile of our fast-growing coffee industry by providing a platform for some of the most gifted and aspiring coffee artisans to showcase their immense dedication and talent to over 22,500 event visitors.  It is destined to be a very exciting competition!’ - Jeffrey Young, CEO and Founder Allegra Group & World Coffee Portal.

We've worked closely with  DunneFrankowski, the creative coffee consultancy,  to design this new competition model providing the audience with a front row seat to witness world-class baristas competing in a unique, vibrant and highly-entertaining one-on-one battle competition. 

Baristas will be able to enter the competition from 01 October 2014 by submitting a one minute video presenting a ‘Signature Drink’ as well as answering the question ‘What makes you a Coffee Master?’

More details will be announced in the coming weeks so please stay tuned!
