From packed cuppings and unforgettable coffees, to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones - last year’s Specialty Coffee Expo was something special.

Now, as the event evolves into the Johannesburg Coffee Festival, we’re excited to announce that the African School of Coffee will officially be back for 2026 ✨

Expect more cuppings, more incredible coffee, and something brand new that we can’t wait to share with you! ☕️
