The following companies have generously supported the SCAE for the last year, and some for even longer. They are all involved with speciality coffee industry and we hope visitors to this site will take the time to find out a bit more about them as the competitions could not go ahead without them!
The UK Barista Championship is one, if not the most exciting National Barista competition in the world, a hotbed of consistent high and winning performance in the WBC over recent years. Where better then than the UK barista circuit to have SanRemo’s exciting TCS (Temperature Stability Control) system put through its paces and let some of the country’s foremost Baristas test and feed back on the performance and special functions featured on the SanRemo Verona and Roma models.
Andrew Tucker of SanRemo UK said "Our first season was brilliant. Being welcomed to the UKBC by a lively crowd of talented people, we had a ball if I'm being honest. The Barista feedback on our equipment has been fantastic and was very useful in understanding how well the machines really perform under pressure and has already contributed to our efforts in leading the way in espresso and coffee perfection at our facility in Italy.
"Roll on the second season and we all at SanRemo wish the best of luck to all the competitors who put so much into their competitive performances. This year, the UKBC promises to be a great and exciting race!"

Cravendale® is proud to sponsor the UKBC for the fifth year running. We are working closely with baristas across the UK & continue to build relationships within the speciality coffee sector. Historically Cravendale® has also sponsored the UK Latte Art Championships & this year has extended sponsorship to include the newly launched Brasília Barista Challenge.
We enjoy our presence at speciality coffee exhibitions and competitions and every year we hear positive comments from baristas on how fantastic Cravendale® is.
Our aim is to promote the importance of Cravendale® to baristas so that they understand the benefits Cravendale® offers over standard fresh milk. Cravendale® is fresh filtered milk which offers unique qualities; The filtration process provides consistent milk quality all year as the milk fat is evenly distributed throughout the milk-this means perfect foaming 365 days of the year!
Cravendale® stays fresh for 7 days once opened or 21 days unopened – which helps reduce wastage. In most cases coffee shops throw standard milk away at the end of the day, as the barista knows it will not last until morning. This is not necessary with Cravendale®.
In conjunction with Paul Meikle-Janney of Coffee Community, we conducted a scientific study into the foaming ability of milk. We found that Cravendale® milk foams consistently until the end of its shelf life, meaning no deterioration in quality.
Choosing Cravendale® will add value to your drinks and delight your customers.
So don’t compromise-use Cravendale® everytime!
Here are some more tips on how to get the best results with Cravendale® in your café;
Keep milk away from light as it breaks down the proteins in the milk, causing it to spoil more quickly. Cravendale®’s opaque bottle helps block out light. This means that the protein content doesn’t deteriorate and you will create rich, creamy foam with delicious mouth feel and an attractive sheen.
Keep milk at less that 5C as warm temperatures also cause milk to spoil. Don’t leave the milk on the counter top, return it to the fridge when you’ve finished to help keep the milk fresh.
