Melbourne International Coffee Expo 2015

Overview

Honestly, where would Melbourne be without its baristas and single origin beans? Setting up at the Melbourne Showgrounds in Ascot Vale, the Melbourne International Coffee Expo 2015 will be open to the public over the weekend — and the Friday is especially for those in the coffee trade. There'll be 100 exhibitors, including speciality coffee and tea brands from all over the globe, as well as machine manufacturers and equipment suppliers for those who take their caffeinated brew very seriously. If you enjoy watching the masters at work, the Australian Coffee Championships will be on for all to see, where you can see Australia’s best baristas and latte art mavericks battle it out.

While we love a good cuppa, it’s nice to know tea and coffee aren't the only things on the menu. MICE15 will also see a Food Village set up on the grounds, with food trucks from Hammer and Tong, Sliders on Tyres, OoOdle Lishious and Crepes Cart. If you’re a firm believer that coffee and cake are a match made in heaven (and really, who would turn that combination down?) there are special Cake and Coffee Tickets available to punters that allow you to also visit the Melbourne Cake Expo as well, which conveniently happens to be on in Melbourne at the same time.
