UK Barista Championship 2025: starting in Bristol with Dalla Corte

The countdown is over: the first leg of the SCA UK 2025 Barista Championship kicks off in Bristol on 7–8 May, and we are thrilled to be right there alongside the competitors for every step of the journey.

This opening qualifier marks the beginning of an exciting path for the UK’s most talented baristas—one that leads to the national finals at London’s Tate Modern, and ultimately to the World Barista Championship 2025 on the global stage of HostMilano.

At the core of this journey is our Zero Barista, selected to power each stage of the competition. With its industry-leading multi-boiler technology and unmatched precision, it empowers baristas to fully showcase their creativity, technical skills, and passion.

Our team will be on-site throughout the competition to offer real-time technical support, and in the lead-up to the event, the St Albans showroom has been made available for dedicated training sessions—ensuring every competitor has the chance to prepare under the best possible conditions.

Bristol is just the beginning. The championship continues with stops in Sheffield, Chichester, and Glasgow, culminating in a thrilling final in London. Each stop is a celebration of espresso culture, barista talent, and the unmatched energy of the specialty coffee community. And if you’re nearby, come by and say hello—we’d love to see you there!
