BCF 2024: SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
The Brighton Coffee Festival is back this weekend and is now set to be two full days of caffeine-fuelled fun at the stunning All Saints Hove, featuring talks, competitions, panel discussions, live music, tonnes of incredible coffee and so much more.
On-stage you can expect to catch the annual Latte Art Competition, along with the introduction of the inaugural Level Coffee Championships. The LCC sees every competitor brew the same coffee, making their knowledge and brew skills the all-important difference maker in this first-of-a-kind competition.
You can fill your boots with plenty of free tasters from a whole host of coffee roasters from up and down the country, as well as some exciting international traders, who’ll be brewing up a range of filter coffees, as well as espresso-based drinks on the our sponsor, Victoria Arduino’s, E1 Prima EXP.
You’ll find these Victoria Arduino machines on most of the stands at BCF, pulling silky shots and showcasing some of the finest coffee around. They’ll also be bringing some exciting surprises, along with their brand new experience bar.
Resident DJ Elliot Sanfilippo will be back on the decks for 2024 bringing the vibes all weekend, and you can also catch live music sets out in the garden this year, courtesy of a range of local artists.

Califia Farms are the headline alternative milk sponsor for the weekend and will be supplying the festival goers with plenty of delicious oat-based products, almond-based products as well as a heat-beating summer surprise.
The Brighton Coffee Festival is once again going single use-free this year, thanks to cup sponsor Goode Cup, who will be providing reusable cups to every visitor, which can be washed at cleaning stations throughout the venue.
For the second year running BCF will have a dedicated Cupping area, which will see some of the best green bean suppliers from the UK gather to showcase their new and upcoming coffees in Arena 2. The equipment for this and all BCF competitions will be supplied by Espresso Solutions, who will be on-site at All Saints over the weekend.
Make sure you stop by the Stores stand, where you’re sure to find an incredible range of products from soft drinks to alt milks to chocolate, as well as being the official dairy milk sponsor this year at BCF.
New in 2024 are the innovative iX Water, who will be supplying water filtration to stands across the festival, bringing their brand new Eco Filtration system, which is infinitely reusable and rechargeable, meaning less waste industry-wide.
