In order to help attendees enjoy coffee at a festival, Agency Amplify and coffee brand [Lavazza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavazza-wimbledon) set up shop at this year's Wilderness festival. The coffee shop put a focus on the authentic Italian heritage of the brand and offered a place for festival-goers to purchase coffee made by on-site baristas.

Alongside the shop and cafe space, the Lavazza installation featured a space that was used to showcase latte art and teach workshops on [Green & Blacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-river-honey) mocha and espresso martini drinks. In the evenings, the workshop space was transformed into an espresso martini cocktail bar, complete with a DJ.

In order to keep festival-goers fully caffeinated, Lavazza also drove around tricycles that gave away complimentary coffee to people who were stationed at the [festival campsites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-craft-coffee) early in the morning.
