The Melbourne International Coffee Expo was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the broader coffee community. This year’s focus shifted toward showcasing Australian roasters, with strong representation from brands like Supreme, Small Batch, and Allpress in the vibrant Roasters Village - a true highlight of the event.
Interestingly, we noticed roasters from outside Victoria, such as Fonzie Abbott from QLD, making a presence as they look to expand into the Melbourne market.
While there was less focus on green coffee this year and a continued emphasis on packaging materials, we chose to invest our time differently - spending quality time with one of our key Brazilian suppliers, Capricornio. Together, we travelled to South Australia, met clients and hosted a cupping event in Brisbane to engage directly with the wider coffee community.
It was great to catch up with everyone at MICE and our Capricornio event in Brisbane.
