Melbourne International Coffee Expo 2016

Overview

The Melbourne Showgrounds are about to become one of the most caffeinated places on Earth, with the return of the Melbourne International Coffee Expo. Now in its fifth year, this massive event is one of the largest of its kind anywhere on the planet — which, when you consider how much Melburnians love their coffee, isn't really all that surprising.

While MICE technically begins on Thursday, March 17, the first two days are reserved for industry pros. Luckily, on Saturday it's open to the public, ensuring all you addicts can get your fix. Pick up tips from baristas and cafe owners on how to make the perfect cup of Joe, check out the wares from more than 120 exhibitors, and catch the climax of the 2016 ASCA Roasting Championship. And drink coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
