That’s right. The calibre of applicants was so high this year that we’ve had to increase the number of contenders from 16 to 20. A huge thank you to all who took the time and effort to apply, and massive congratulations to those who made it through — we can’t wait to see you grind, brew, pour and sweat in a bid to win the prestigious title of Coffee Master London and take home £5,000.

 

And just who will be putting the baristas through their paces and giving you the low-down live at the event we hear you ask? Let us proudly introduce you to the world-class line-up of judges and MCs here.
