UK Cup Tasters Championship 2025

This competition draws in the best palates in the UK coffee industry. For the 2025 UKCTC we have heats! Four heats; Bristol, two in London and Manchester! The top 36 contestants from the heats will then compete in the finals weekend in April 2025 at the Glasgow Coffee Festival.

Heats will consist of 4 sets of triangles (three “cups” of coffee where two are the same and one differs) with a time limit of 4 minutes. Finals weekend will have 8 sets of triangles! The competition gets increasingly harder as the coffees in each set get increasingly similar. The results are instant as contestants lift their cups to discover if a gold dot on the base tells them they have spotted the odd one out. It’s the coffee equivalent of a penalty shoot out!
