Are you ready to rumble? 20 competitors from around the world have just been announced for the 2017 Coffee Masters tournament at London Coffee Festival, April 6th-9th. Tickets are on sale now and include access to the tournament, plus tasting experiences, workshops, rocking pop-up cafes, heaps of top exhibitors, cocktails a-plenty, art, a daily pop-up restaurant, roasting demos, an “immersive coffee journey” from UCC, La Marzocco’s buzzy True Artisan Cafe, really good food for a coffee festival, and the sights and sounds of swinging London over four glorious, likely drizzly days in April.
But for now, let’s meet the 20 competitors set to do battle at this year’s event, along with the entry videos that earned them each of them their coveted roster spot.
