Having recently impressed audiences in Dubai and Houston, the Bluewater Caf\u00e9 Station is now redefining the approach to specialty coffee. Its innovative design has earned it multiple industry accolades, including \u2018Best New Product\u2019 at the World of Coffee Expo in Dubai and a 2024 \u2018Best Buy\u2019 rating from The Caterer Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n Tailored to meet the needs of speciality caf\u00e9s, the unit allows baristas to finely adjust the mineral levels in their water, ensuring optimal flavour extraction unique to each coffee variety.<\/p>\n \u201cThe market response has been phenomenal,\u201d said Dave Noble, Bluewater spokesperson. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to introduce this innovation to the UK\u2019s rapidly expanding specialty coffee scene.\u201d<\/p>\n During the festival, a line-up of expert baristas \u2013 among them Douglas Conde, Day Trip, Tom Sixsmith, Batch Baby, and Mathew Harvey-Ingram \u2013 will demonstrate how the Caf\u00e9 Station enhances brewing. Each will use Bluewater\u2019s ultra-clean water paired with LiquidRock\u00ae, a patented mineral blend developed in Sweden.<\/p>\n LiquidRock\u00ae balances calcium and magnesium in a carefully designed ratio, promoting flavour clarity and aiding mineral absorption. It also plays a critical role in preventing scale build-up \u2013 a must for maintaining espresso machines. The system offers three custom mineral profiles: light, medium, and bold, giving baristas flexibility to match water to bean profiles.<\/p>\n The London Coffee Festival celebrates the country\u2019s vibrant coffee culture, attracting over 22,000 attendees and showcasing 260+ brands, interactive events, and hands-on experiences for both trade and consumers.<\/p>\n With the UK coffee market valued at \u00a315 billion and home to thousands of branded shops, it\u2019s clear that high-quality coffee has gone mainstream. The British public now consumes approximately 98 million cups per day\u2014a sign of growing appreciation for premium brews.<\/p>\n \u201cWater makes up more than 98% of a cup of coffee, yet it\u2019s often ignored as a key ingredient,\u201d added Noble. \u201cThe Caf\u00e9 Station gives baristas complete control to brew with the purest, best-balanced water possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
