WORLD OF COFFEE CLOSES AFTER SOLD-OUT SHOW ATTRACTED 11,000 VISITORS

World of Coffee 2022 Comes to a Close with over 11,000 Attendees and Five Newly Crowned World Coffee Champions!

June 25, 2022 — Coffee professionals from over the world came together in Milan, Italy, this week for the first World of Coffee since 2019. A record 11,000+ attendees from over 137 countries walked a sold-out show floor where over 350 exhibiting companies showcased the latest products and services available to the industry. 230 volunteers supported every aspect of this year’s show including the five World Coffee Championships, 28 Cupping Room sessions over 25 SCA lectures, and 9 workshops that were delivered for the very first time at World of Coffee.

With support from World of Coffee’s host sponsor BWT water+more, attendees were able to network on the show floor again and discover the new innovations and products from the industry. This year’s event put a spotlight on Guatemalan Coffees, the official Portrait Country, a designation given to a different coffee-producing country at World of Coffee every year.
