The Cup North Coffee Event Starts This Weekend In Manchester

Put together by the coffee community of Manchester, the inaugural Cup North, the first major coffee festival to take place outside of London is being held this weekend – 1^st& 2^nd November at Artwork, Greengate Manchester.  This fabulous artisan coffee event will showcase all that is brilliant about the UK coffee industry and the increasing and emerging coffee scene in the North of England.

The two day event will see participation from a wide range of coffee businesses.  Events running throughout the two days will give visitors the chance to learn, sample and buy some of the outstanding coffee roasted in the UK.  The show will be hosting cupping’s, demonstrations, talks, tastings, and more.  Other aspects of the industry will be represented by tea and chocolate merchants, independent street food vendors and brewers.

As part of the kickstarter campaign and supporter of Cup North, La Cimbali will be showcasing their top Commercial and Professional Espresso Coffee Machines. 

We will be demonstrating creativity and consistency showing how we can embrace technology to help control some of the main variables in the barista working day. Two of our best coffee machines will form part of our showcase in the event - the M100 HD Espresso coffee machine and the M34 coffee machine.

The M100 HD Espresso coffee machine assists with the creativity of changing the flavour balance of Espresso using controllable and repeatable pressure profiles that can be easily tweaked by the user.Plus, we will have our M34 machine with Bluetooth grinder with us using the Perfect Grinding System, which will re-calibrate the grinder for busy baristas.  

We have also teamed up with Dark Woods Coffee Roasters (one of the newest coffee roasters in the north!) for the event - so come along to taste some great Espresso!

Our very own Coffee Specialist, Rob Ward and team will be making lots of new coffees for visitors to try, and be on hand to answer any questions that you may have, offer practical advice and listen to views and thoughts on anything and everything coffee!

Other things to expect at Cup North aside from amazing coffees to discover include cocktails, beers, cold brew, and latte art competitions (and yes, that means prizes).

There are still tickets available so please go to www.cupnorth.co.uk where you can purchase online.

We look forward to you joining us at the weekend to drink and talk everything coffee!
