In recent years, the coffee industry has been undergoing a major transformation, driven not only by changing consumption habits but also by evolving brewing technologies, new-generation business models, and the rapidly growing specialty coffee culture. Consumers’ increasing awareness of coffee’s journey from bean to cup is directly influencing demand for professional equipment and high-quality raw materials. Aiming to become one of the strategic meeting points for this dynamic market in Europe, Coffee Europe Expo 2026 will take place from September 15–17 at Hall E of Ptak Warsaw Expo in Warsaw, Poland.
The Entire Coffee Supply Chain Under One Roof
Going beyond the traditional product exhibition format, Coffee Europe Expo offers a comprehensive B2B platform covering every link in the coffee industry. The main product and service categories on display will include:
Beans and Raw Materials: Green coffee beans, blends, and specialty coffee selections
Professional Equipment: Espresso machines, industrial and precision grinders, and barista accessories
Business and Packaging Solutions: Coffee packaging and packing technologies, as well as complementary gastronomy products
Technology and Automation: Café software, IT infrastructure, vending and self-service solutions
This broad range of offerings provides café owners, hotel and restaurant managers, purchasing professionals, coffee roasters, and distributors with an opportunity to renew and expand their supply networks in one location. The expo is particularly well positioned to facilitate valuable business partnerships for international brands looking to enter the Eastern and Central European markets.
Education, Shows, and Competition Under One Roof
In addition to B2B meetings, the expo will offer added value to industry professionals through a three-day program of technical events and competitions. The 2026 program, which will spotlight industry expertise and technical knowledge, will feature the following highlights:
