The story
Malta Coffee Circus Festival in Valletta
The Malta Coffee Circus Festival is a specialty coffee event held in Valletta, bringing together local roasters, cafes and baristas for tastings, brewing demonstrations and stalls aimed at coffee enthusiasts. It fits within a broader growth of specialty coffee culture in Malta over the past decade, though independently verifiable detail on this specific event's organiser and scale is limited.
For most of the twentieth century, coffee in Malta meant a quick espresso or instant coffee taken standing at a bar counter, part of the island's strong Italian-influenced cafe culture but rarely treated as a specialist product in its own right.
