MATT COWIE

When he's not dancing from city to city, cafe to cafe on behalf of Dark Arts Coffee or devising mind-bending latte art like his iconic Mega Swan and Triple Bye Bye Birdie(trademark pending), Matt is working tirelessly on the C-list coffee competition circuit. 

Known for winning such prestigious accolades as the 2022 Perch & Rest Latte Art Throwdown, runner up at the Us V Them hot dog eating competition 2023, Cairngorm coffee wholesale manager of the month 7 months in a row in 2022, Dark Arts coffee wholesale manager of the month for 13 months in a row and soon to be the world's first ever "88kg Glaswegian two-time host of London Coffee Festival's Coffee Masters with a ginger beard and blue eyes".

Get ready to be served not only top-tier coffee knowledge and trivia, but also a borderline depraved and difficult to understand sense of humour with layers of irony so deep that not even Matt is sure if he's kidding or not. Matt charges into the 2025 Coffee Masters with his signature blend of charm and cheek eager to host alongside the incredibly talented Roosa. Whether you’re here to compete or just enjoy as a viewer Matt is here to make sure you feel slightly at home, but also slightly uncomfortable. It's literally his job.
