What can you expect this year?
There's so much to look forward to at CCW 2022
We've got an incredible line up of speakers and sponsors coming your way at the end of July in Durban. The event will be livestreamed virtually again this year, but we are also doubling the space so we can welcome more people to be part of the action in person. We will be focusing on innovation from South Africa, improving our sensory skills, learning more about the science of processing, hardworking ways to make your coffee business better and expanding our idea of coffee culture.
The Top 10 of A Shot in the Dark presented by Genio Coffee Roasters will also be announced and we have so many other fun and exclusive activities lined up!

Thank you to headline sponsor Genio, we look forward to see how this platform grows over the next years of this partnership!

Daily Coffee Tastings
We were tasting incredible coffees all the way through the event.
We kicked off with a selection of special Gesha Village coffee.
Our A Shot in the Dark 2021 coffee sponsors Sevenoaks Trading treated us to an incredible array of coffees.
We tasted some incredible Colombian coffees from Origin Coffee Roaster (Pergamino Cafe) and Sabores de Colombia.
We had coffees from international roasters 3FE and Cat&Cloud in the room.

Espresso Bar and Cafe
In 2021 we had an exciting line up of coffees on the Brew Bar sponsored by La Marzocco SA.
The best networking happens in the moments inbetween. And there were delicious espressos being poured to fuel those creative conversations!

Community Involvement
We are committed to broadening education and uplifting the baristas in this ever-growing industry. With our partners, the Barista Wage Calculator has been in production and was officially launched this year! We can make it better together.

SA AeroPress Championships
Creative Coffee Week played host to the finals of the SA AeroPress Championship to determine who will compete in the World AeroPress Champs 2021! It was SO MUCH FUN. And we have a Champion....

The Winters in Durban are heavenly. Just crisp enough to savour your morning cup of coffee, but warm enough to spend all day on the beach. Creative Coffee Week will be held in the up and coming Point Waterfront district so you can start your morning right, with a harbour view and a complimentary coffee.
