World of Coffee Bangkok, Day One: Cupping Rooms and Community

7 May 2026 marked the first day of World of Coffee Bangkok. It was a busy day of tasting and conversation, with Espresso Academic Thailand involved in the Cupping Rooms and supporting activities around the event.

The team met partners and coffee people from several countries, and worked alongside volunteers helping to look after the event atmosphere. People from different parts of coffee came together to taste, exchange perspectives and explore opportunities within the community.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to say hello, and to the staff and volunteers who helped make the opening day possible. These meetings and shared cups made the event a chance to reconnect with familiar faces and get to know more of the coffee community.
