We are excited to announce our silver sponsorship for the 2018 Specialty Coffee Association UK Barista Championships!

The UK Barista Championship is the UK's premier coffee competition and showcases barista perfection. Each competitor will have 15 minutes to produce three sets of four drinks, espresso's, milk beverages and a signature beverage. Set to music and with an accompanying presentation, each UKBC routine is a platform for innovation and education. Considered the toughest of the SCA competitions, the Championships tests competitor's coffee knowledge, presentation, preparation and all round barista ability.

The SCA UK Chapter competitions are the only competitions recognised by the industry, and the only ones that offer the chance of becoming the next World Champion. The UKBC is not just about winning, it is about learning, networking and meeting people who share a passion for great coffee.

The events will be taking place over the following dates:

London UKBC Heat - Saturday 17th February at Protein Studios

Bristol UKBC Heat - Saturday 24th February at Paintworks

Leeds UKBC Heat - Saturday 10th March at Duke Studios

Scotland UKBC Heat - Saturday 24th March (Venue TBC)
