Welcome to The Market Pulse, the podcast from Lumina Intelligence where we monitor the vital signs of the UK’s food, drink and retail sectors.

From cold brews to collagen-infused blends, coffee culture is evolving—and fast. In this episode of The Market Pulse, host Flora Zwolinski (Senior Insight Manager at Lumina Intelligence) sits down with Harry Goddin, Commercial Director at the London Coffee Festival, to explore the biggest trends shaping the future of coffee.
Discover how convenience meets quality in ready-to-drink formats, what’s driving the rise of functional coffee and Japanese influence, and why the “third space” is being redefined, while we also dive into sustainability challenges, tech innovations, and what it really means to serve a “speciality” cup of coffee in 2025.
