The day-long event has been scheduled for Saturday 13 December and, in addition to the competition itself, La Marzocco UK will organize pertinent workshops and talks throughout the day, which will be open to the public. The day’s program aims to be in line with the goals of SCAE UK, to share quality coffee knowledge as well as share a La Marzocco experience with the barista, the people who are actually using the machine. Over the years, the barista’s hands-on experience has played and continues to play a key role in the thought process within the company’s R&D department.
“It’s a pleasure and an honour to host the UK Latte Art competition at a London location,” says Paul Kelly, La Marzocco UK’s Sales Manager. “One of the core values of La Marzocco, and possibly the one we appreciate most, is building community. The UK Latte Art competition is a perfect opportunity.”
The UK Champion taking home the prize at the end of the day will attend the World Latte Art Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden in June 2015.
