Thailand Coffee Fest 2026: Competition and Coffee Community

Thailand Coffee Fest 2026 brought competitors, judges, organisers and familiar faces from the coffee community together from 10 to 13 September. It was a chance to see the care behind each performance and reconnect with people across the industry.

Members of the Espresso Academic community were glad to take part and support a space where coffee professionals could meet and exchange experiences. Conversations around the competition were as welcome as the activity on stage.

Congratulations to the winners and to every competitor who stepped forward to test their skills. Preparation, performing under pressure and reflecting on the result all become experiences to carry into the next competition.

Thank you to Thailand Coffee Fest and everyone who helped bring this community together. Browse the original competition album below for the people, performances and atmosphere from the event.
