What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Cupping sessions, the structured tasting method professionals use to judge bean quality and origin, give the public a rare chance to sample coffee the way industry buyers do rather than as a simple cafe visit

02

The mystery stays covered

Barista competitions and latte-art battles add a live spectator dimension to what is otherwise a trade-show format, and ten thematic lectures cover roasting, brewing, service, and equipment trends for attendees working inside the coffee industry

03

The city starts moving

Scale is genuinely large for a Central Asian coffee event: 47 stands and over 5,000 guests in a single sports-arena venue
