Highlights from World Coffee Portal’s strategic analysis of the UK coffee market’s embrace of technological innovation

30 July 2025 | 10am - 11am GMT | Online

The adoption of automation continues to reshape the UK coffee market, whether in the café, at home, or beyond. Costa Express has become ubiquitous across the nation’s petrol stations, supermarkets and beyond, while other major branded players have entered the market competing with long established operators in this fiercely competitive technologically driven sector.

In this session Bradley Journeaux, Head of Research, unpacks the key findings from The Automation Report UK 2025 and examines the current retail environment for the UK’s premium coffee vending market. The session will also include an interactive Q&A with the team.
