SCA UK Barista Championships 2022 gets underway

We were delighted to play host to the London heats of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) UK Barista Championships 2022, which took place recently at our new event space, Events@270 in Elstree.  

As the official machine sponsor for the Championships, La Cimbali supplied the new M200 for competing baristas to use live on stage and in the practice area at each phase of the competition. 

“We are so proud to be part of such a prestigious competition series and it’s been fantastic to actually get things underway after the delays caused by the pandemic,” said Daniel Clarke, Sales and Commercial Director UK and Ireland, La Cimbali. 

“The Cimbali team worked really hard behind the scenes, enabling the whole thing to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible, and judging by the feedback, they did a great job.” 

“Big congratulations to all those baristas that made it through the London heats, the commitment they have is inspiring. 
. 
“We are now very much looking forward to seeing the nation’s leading baristas progress through the heats in their bid to secure the title of SCA UK Barista Champion.” 

Winning baristas from the London heats move forward to the next stage of the competition, the details of which are yet to be confirmed.  

The M200 is the most recent addition to Cimbali’s suite of award-winning traditional espresso machines. Originally previewed at Host 2021, the M200 represents a major advance in professional coffee machines, with a fresh innovative design and sophisticated technology, guaranteeing impeccable in cup quality.
