FoodBev Media is delighted to announce the winners of this year's highly anticipated World Coffee Innovation Awards, a celebration of forward thinking and excellence within the coffee industry. This event, which features revolutionary ideas, outstanding products, technological advancements and sustainable business practices, has become a trademark of innovation in the global coffee community.

The winners of this year's awards were announced at the Caffè Culture Show at London's Business Design Centre, the trade event that spotlights the UK speciality coffee and café bar market. As we celebrate the industry breakers who have elevated the coffee experience, FoodBev would like to congratulate all winners, finalists and commended companies.

As well as the awards ceremony, the World Coffee Innovation Awards featured at Caffé Culture with an exceptional showcase stand, exhibiting the amazing entrants from past and present for attendees to experience.

Visitors were queuing up to get their hands on The Good Cup and try the iced strawberry matcha from Mafia Matcha, alongside the incredible flavours courtesy of Monin and the coffee-flavoured New Forest Shortbread. We also had an incredible display of products from multi-award-winning Coccola and Mindfuel, as well as exhibitions of the newest releases from Fellow and Vitclear.

Dan Bunt, marketing director of FoodBev Media, presented the awards ceremony at the Caffè Insights stage at 4 pm (BST) on 30 September 2025. He commented:
