The week of 23-25 June 2010, London, England was the focus of the eyes of the specialty coffee world, both online and at the host event, Caffe Culture, held in association with the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE).

It was another epic event as Mike Phillips of Chicago, USA, walked away with the 2010 crown. 53 national barista champions in total were cheered on by an audience of over one thousand people, with a total internet audience of 29,600 (unique IP address visitors) over the course of the 3-day event via our new GoLive streaming video project.

Onsite, the WBC area held special features like the Espresso Bar and Brew Bar, where guests had a chance to experience coffees from roasters around the world brewed in various brewing methods.  Visitors also experienced a taste of the coffee culture around the city with the London Coffee Map highlighting some of London’s top coffee shops.
