Tom’s Coffee started serving coffee at events in 2005. More than two decades later, we’ve worked at thousands of events across London, the UK and Europe — from small office activations and private events to major conferences, exhibitions and multi-bar productions serving thousands of guests.
We haven’t counted every espresso, flat white and cappuccino individually since 2005 — but using our historic trading, number of events and typical service volumes, our best estimate is that we’ve now served more than 3 million coffees.
It means thousands of event days, countless early starts, hundreds of thousands of litres of milk and an awful lot of coffee beans.
More importantly, it represents over 20 years of practical event experience.
We know how to keep queues moving when a stand suddenly gets busy. We know how many machines, bars and baristas are needed for different guest volumes. We know how to set up in challenging venues, work around tight schedules and deliver the same quality whether we’re making 100 coffees or several thousand.
That experience is difficult to replicate.
No two Tom’s Coffee events are the same.
Some clients need a beautifully branded coffee bar serving 100 guests at an office event. Others need multiple bars and teams of professional baristas capable of serving thousands of drinks across a major exhibition or conference.
Our largest events can produce thousands of drinks in just a couple of days, while our teams regularly work across multiple events and locations simultaneously.
Behind every bar is the same objective: great coffee, professionally delivered, without the client having to worry about the logistics.
Since 2005
It’s an estimate, of course. Nobody was keeping a running coffee counter when we started.
But after more than two decades of events, 3 million cups is our best estimate — and probably a conservative one.
And after all those coffees, we still care about getting the next one right.
More than 3 million since 2005. It is an estimate rather than a counter — based on our trading history, the number of events we have worked and typical service volumes per event — and we believe it is a conservative one.
Since 2005 — over 20 years. We work across London, the UK and Europe at exhibitions, conferences, office events, product launches and brand activations.
One coffee bar with a professional barista comfortably serves 500+ drinks in an exhibition or office day. For larger events we add bars and baristas — our busiest month to date, June 2026, produced 21,831 drinks across 76 events.
