If you can tell your Aeropress from your pour-over, head to Fourways Mall from Fri, May 30 – Sun, Jun 1, 2025 for the Specialty Coffee Expo. Book your tickets here. 

Described as a 'festival of coffee' and South Africa’s biggest coffee event, the Specialty Coffee Expo brings coffee snobs and industry professionals together to celebrate all things coffee (honestly, you had us at 'coffee' and 'festival'). Of the world's coffee production, only 6% is considered "specialty" coffee. These high-quality beans have been evaluated and graded according to the Specialty Coffee Association's (SCA) standards.

Explore the Roasters Village packed with South Africa’s top specialty roasters, taste your way through the Sample Bar, and join daily cupping sessions to sample exceptional coffees from across the globe. Watch live brewing demos, check out the latest high-end brew gear, and don’t miss the highlight: the SCASA National Barista Championships, where the country’s best compete for the crown.

To round it all off, an exclusive selection of pâtisserie vendors will serve dreamy pastries designed to pair perfectly with your cup.

Whether you're a bona fide coffee connoisseur or want to learn more about the caffeinated world of coffee, trust us, you'll find something to enjoy at this expo. Held at Fourways Mall's main promo court, book your tickets for The Specialty Coffee Expo here. Weekend and day passes are available, and kids under 12 get in free.
