This year’s London Coffee Festival kicks off at Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, East London on Thursday 20th and runs until Sunday 23rd April.
The festival is in its 11th year this year and more than 30,000 industry professionals and coffee lovers are expected to attend.
There will be many coffee based activities to attend from latte art masterclasses to plant based milk tastings and barista tournaments.
There will be live music and DJ sets so this creative, caffeine fuelled event is one not to be missed!
For those who want to learn more about what is going on in the industry, there will be expert talks and lectures on a range of subjects including sustainability, consumer data and the science behind a hipster’s favourite drink.
This year’s sponsors include huge names in the coffee industry such as La Marzocco, La Cimbali, Alpro, KeepCup and Victoria Arduino to name a few.
Many of the exhibitors will be in the Roaster’s Village, which will be spread across two floors of the brewery, showcasing the best coffee, baristas and equipment that the industry has to offer.
The True Artisan Café will host a stage for cafes, coffee shops, bars and other coffee-focused businesses to share their products, baristas and top class hospitality.
With this year’s festival being heavily focused on sustainability and partnered with reusable coffee cup brand KeepCup, organisers are encouraging those attending to bring their own sustainable coffee cup to continue their ‘Sustainable Coffee Flight’ campaign.
