We are very excited to announce the winners of this year’s London Coffee Festival awards selected by our visitors, who were asked to vote for their favourite stands, experiences and products as part of our post-event survey.

Union Hand-Roasted took home two awards, with their Pop-Up Roastery being voted the Ultimate Coffee Experience – for the fourth year running – and the Most Engaging Stand Experience. 

Jeremy Torz, Co-Founder of Union Hand-Roasted said: “This year’s festival has proved that passion and excitement for specialty coffee is still growing. We are pleased to have won both Ultimate Coffee Experience and Most Engaging Stand since spreading the joy of coffee is what we love to do most.

“To see crowds gather to watch our live roasting sessions showed real interest in what we do (I even lost my voice after the 10th session!), while the competitive buzz around our Pro-Am Flavour Challenge was exciting. We are thrilled to be recognized in the awards by the visitors who came, saw and enjoyed our coffee.” 

La Marzocco also won two awards, including Favourite Key Feature for the party atmosphere of the True Artisan Café with live DJs and exciting signature drinks from more than 30 European coffee shops. La Marzocco was also awarded the Most Innovative Product - Industry (voted for exclusively by members of the coffee industry) for its new Linea Mini domestic coffee machine.

The Most Innovative Product - Consumer award went to Minor Figures for its popular cold brew and Arancini Brothers took home the award for Favourite Food Experience for their delicious risotto balls.

Starbucks took home the coveted Favourite Stand Design, with their stand this year inspired by the new Seattle Reserve Roastery in Seattle, while the coveted Favourite New Exhibitor award went to Square Mile Coffee Roasters who showcased the Victoria Arduino Black Eagle machine.

A big congratulations to all of our award winners!
