After informing attendees of the Global Coffee Forum in Milan that we could be heading towards a coffee catastrophe, Illycafe boss Andrea Illy has been suggesting that the next few years could be all about consolidation as business began to worry about tougher competition and decreasing margins.

Lavazza looking forward to India’s burgeoning love of coffee
When it comes to the blossoming Indian coffee sector, the famous Italian company Lavazza hasn’t been able to rely on brand presence and their heritage to compete in the dogged battle for retail store supremacy.

Bath to Bathe in Coffee and Milk during Upcoming Festival
Leading dairy company Yeo Valley has been named as the lead milk sponsor for this year’s Bath Coffee Festival 2011, scheduled to take place on 21st and 22nd of May.
The dairy business sources its organic milk from OMSCo, a West Country co-operative, whose farmers pride themselves on the care afforded to their dairy herds as well as on the quality of the milk that’s produced.
The firm’s Ben Cull commented on the news, “Yeo Valley has seen milk sales increase over the last ten years and being the core ingredient in all of our products we are keen to encourage consumers to choose organic, particularly for their coffee.”
The Bath Coffee festival is also welcoming HBSC on board as another main sponsor, with both itself and Yeo Valley joining the high profile list of both national and regional businesses to be supporting the upcoming event. Directly linked to the coffee festival’s defining theme and also backing the festival are coffee experts Lavazza and Taylors of Harrogate.
Moreover, there are reportedly already 50 companies that have arranged to exhibit at the festival. Other elements of the annual coffee extravaganza in Bath are demonstrations led by coffee experts, lots of tasting and sampling, with plenty of entertainment for the whole family. The Coffee Academy will also be running workshops where visitors and participants will be able to glean top tips and hints from expert baristas on how to perfect a cup of coffee, or how to exercise your artistic flair and create masterpieces of latte art.
