Specialty coffee is nothing new and although it is growing in Barcelona, it is still difficult to find a widespread and democratized quality coffee beyond the circuit of excellent specialty coffee shops in Barcelona.
But as said,the sector does not stop growing, and the best proof of this is the third edition of the Barcelona Coffee Awards, a must-attend event for all coffee lovers that, from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 October 2024 at Nau Bostik, will allow you to enjoy unlimited specialty coffees and discover the best local creations in the heart of Barcelona.
After gathering 5,000 people in 2023 who tasted up to 30,000 coffees, this year the festival aims to double its numbers, attracting 10,000 people to taste up to 50,000 free coffees from brands such as San Remo, Alpro, Oatly, BWT, Compak, Iberital, Rocket, Sage, Square, Dalla Corte, Eversys and La Marzocco, among others. The dynamics is simple, once the entrance fee is paid, one can go to any stand and ask for a free tasting of their coffee.
On the other hand, there will also be round tables, workshops and tastings that will also be free of charge but with limited capacity, so it will be necessary to reserve a place.
In addition to coffee, attendees will be able to enjoy a varied gastronomic offer in the foodtrucks of Fish & Chips, Antonia’s Burgers, Morgan’s Mexican Food, Forno Bomba, Duval and Chica Cheesecakes. There will also be a play area dedicated to children and a professional make-up artist will be present on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to apply make-up to children.
Prizes for best coffee, best coffee shop….
The festival will also feature official competitions of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). The most striking are the Cup Tasters and Latte Art, which will be held in Spain after six years.
In addition, independently of the SCA competitions, the Barcelona Coffee Awards will organize two championships of its own: the barista championship and the roasting championship.
Other awards will also be presented: Best Coffee Shop/Cafeteria, Best Coffee Education, Best Brunch, Best Bakery, Best Restaurant, Best Vegan Option, Best Gluten Free/Lactose Free/Sugar Free Option, Best Service in Barcelona, Best Pastry Shop, Best Complementary Coffee Products, Best Social Network, Best New Coffee Shop and Best Design.
