👋 Key Concept
United Baristas Market has a number of sections. Each section has its own categories.
United Baristas Market is divided into sections, including:
- Product Catalogue

- Companies
Within each section there are relevant categories. For example, within Marketplace you can drill down through 'Coffee Equipment', and 'Coffee Making Equipment' to get to 'Espresso Machines'.

An overview of current Sections and Categories is available in the Market Directory.
Searching
You can search for specific items, listings and companies as well as information using Search. Just type your query in the big search box at the top of any page.
We have recently made search more powerful, so you can now search using items, brands, companies, services and locations. For example:
- used Victoria Arduino espresso machines in Edinburgh
- La Marzocco engineers in London
- Compak wholesalers
Search provides a shortlist of the most relevant results. It is ideal for when you are looking for a specific item or need to re-visit a listing, product or company.
💡 Tip
To view a shortlist of relevant listings, products or companies, it's often better to use Filters ◉
Filters
In most categories there are many items, you can refine them using filters. The filters are specific to each category, so start by drilling down to the most relevant category ⦿.
Filters can be very specific, for example you can refine Marketplace listings to:
- 1-group La Marzocco espresso machines
- 2-group Victoria Arduino espresso machines in London
- Roasting equipment near Edinburgh
💡 Tip
You can get new listing notifications for your specific filter with Notifications.
