The ScotHot Show: La Cimbali Will be Exhibiting for the First Time

Every 2 years, the largest hospitality catering and tourism show in Scotland, ScotHot, runs in order to showcase Scottish hospitality, catering and tourism industries.  This event was launched in 1973.

This year, the event will be held on March 4 & 5 at the SECC in Glasgow and will be opened by the Minister for Business, Energy and Tourism as part of the Scottish Tourism week.

This event would be the perfect opportunity to showcase the latest products from over 200 suppliers in the UK.  Visitors will get inspired by live demonstrations for culinary cooking and have a look at the top industry developments as well.

This year, the programme of events is exciting and full of competitions such as the event for the best coffee in the country, as the UK Barista Championships will take place in front of a live audience.

20 of the UK’s top baristas will compete in front of a live audience, and test their all-round coffee knowledge, presentation, and preparation skills.  They will get 15 minutes to set up their work area and then 15 minutes to make 4 espressos, 4 cappuccinos and 4 espresso based non-alcoholic speciality drinks. 

The winner will go on to represent the UK at the World Barista Championships in Seattle in April.

This is a new event for La Cimbali, whose stand (number 4454) will be right across from the UKBC stage where the UK Barista Championships final will be taking place, so very easy to find.  Visitors can pop along to taste an espresso, prepared on either the M34 coffee machine with the award winning PGS Magnum on Demand Grinder, or on the even more impressive M100 HD with its clever pressure profiling technology. 

The M100 HD also features Cimbali’s exclusive thermal system consisting of twin Heat Exchanger pre-heating system, independent group boilers which are hard wired to a solid metal group giving complete temperature control of each group, and is the ultimate traditional espresso machine.  It is packed with many features to ensure that it delivers the very best espresso & speciality coffee experience, with an exterior that oozes style and flair.

La Cimbali’s Coffee Specialist Rob Ward, and Head Barista Matt Lasek will be on hand to demonstrate their coffee machines for all types of business. 

The Cimbali team which comprises of Matt, Rob and the rest, are really looking forward to being at the show. They would also like to wish all the competing baristas a very good luck for the competition!
