Brew with Friends

Have you ever wanted to attend an event where you can brew whatever coffee you like, on whatever equipment you want, whilst chatting and networking with over like minded coffee people?

Gene Ke and The Cupping Directives come together to create just that. With our expertise in organising and hosting coffee events, and Gene’s brewing skill and passion, Brew with Friends is the ultimate coffee event for seasoned professionals and budding enthusiasts.

  • Through TCD’s connections, Brew with Friends was able to host the very first edition at Saint Espresso’s roastery in Hackney Wick, London.

    We then went on to host another two events here. The QC lab made a fantastic venue in the heart of the bustling roastery and adjoining cafe.

  • BWF ventured into the heart of the city and found themselves at the Independent Coffee Lab - a fully equipped laboratory space designed with events, trainings and coffee evaluation in mind.

  • Post London Coffee Festival 2025, BWF hosted a special edition at La Marzocco’s new London showroom. With machinery on display and a cool and calm space for brewing, we had a lot of fun at the busiest edition to date.

  • Have an idea for a theme, or a location perfect for BWF? Let us know!
