La Cimbali's 2015 Events

This year, La Cimbali had a number of successful shows and events.
The year started off with La Cimbali’s participation at SIGEP in Italy in January. This event was in its 36th year and with the 2015 Barista and Farmer Reality heats taking place at the show. There were an estimated more than 175,000 trade visitors coming from all over the world. The event confirmed how barista and farmer speciality coffee and quality coffee can boost the development of the entire chain.
The next event was ScotHot in Glasgow, where La Cimbali had the privilege of being a Sensory Judge. It was amazing to see talented individuals working in the coffee sector in the UK. The UK Barista Championships took place here in front of a live audience and the winner went on to represent the UK at the World Finals in Seattle.
Rob Ward, was then in Seattle for the SCAA exhibition where unfortunately the UK did not have a world barista champion – fingers crossed for next year.
April and May are always mega busy for the coffee industry in the UK and La Cimbali were excited to be once again be a major sponsor of the London Coffee Festival. This year, the M100 HD espresso coffee machine was showcased, which really drew people to La Cimbali’s stand. The group are already looking forward to being at this fabulous event again in 2016.
There was not much time between the end of the London Coffee Festival and the start of The Caffe Culture Show at London Olympia. The focus for this event was La Cimbali’s Perfect Grinding System (PGS) with the M100 GT and S39TE coffee machines. La Cimbali also supported the Coffee in Good Spirits competition and got to taste lots of exciting alcohol and coffee inspired cocktails.
It was then off to Milan for Expo 2015 and shared a stand with Gruppo Cimbali. This event lasted for six months, and La Cimbali were part of the TuttoFood event housed in 10 pavilions. Soon after it was off to the Nordic World of Coffee in Gothenburg, Sweden, which attracted over 5,000 visitors. La Cimbali were extremely lucky to have four of the best baristas and roasters in the business on their stand and the show was really successful.
The 2015-event programme has ended on a high with HOST and then Cup North 2 – the northern coffee party. There, La Cimbali were the official sponsor of Tamper Tantrum and also featured coffees from Dark Woods on their stand where they produced great coffees from some of the company’s best coffee machines.

What are fantastic year for the La Cimbali team – we are looking forward to an even better 2016!”
