What can you expect this year?
New Venue. New format. Even more learning and fun.
With the help of our Partners, we are moving to a new venue to maximise hands on experiences and fun! The Station is an amazing event venue that will play host to so many more coffee professionals this year!
We've got an incredible line up of speakers and sponsors coming your way at the end of July in Durban.
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 Winner 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!
So much to look forward to!

Daily Coffee Tastings
We are bringing you ALL THE COFFEE!
From around the world and our own backyard, we are going BIG with tastings in 2023!
Espresso Bar and Cafe
In 2023 we had an exciting line up of coffees on the Brew Bar.
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.
Competitive much?
You may not know this about The Coffee Magazine Team, but we like to compete! Mostly because it's fun.
We're talking Cupping Relays, Tamp That Barista Game Show, Guess the Origin, The CCW Table Tennis Invitational and much, much more.

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 Central Durban, so you can start your morning right.
