    Lots of different cafes and companies coming together for this, with the national barista competitions too. (although it says only semi-finals?)

    Seems like it would be a cool event though. Anyone planning to go?

    I'd definitely go if I could manage to get my hands on some free tickets.

    Was down there in freebies today, place was absolutely packed.

    I'm a big tea drinker, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't COFFEE & tea

    lots of tea sellers and wide range of coffee sellers too - along with people selling loads of things like kettles, coffee machines and peripherals.

    got myself a glass teapot with inbuilt infuser, some Lapsang Souchong, a tin of Matcha and a free whisk with it

    Very impressive setup yesterday. Used the above code for discount, so thanks to donnacha for posting it. Had a great day - lot of tea and coffee on display along with some decent music outside on the stage. Got a bag of colombian coffee, from one of the smaller roasters.

    Was great to meet the people behind these companies and chat to them. Ended up getting turned off one company which I quite liked and had bought from previously due to their very poor manner and turned on to one I had never heard of from chatting to them. Also, the fact their stuff was amazing didn't hurt

    Unfortunately I never made it but followed updates on twitter.

    Fair play to Squaremile who sent me on a couple of complimentary tickets with my monthly sub - I sent the inlaws in on these who both had a great time at it.
