What is the Home Barista Show?

The Home Barista Show is a specialty coffee event created exclusively for home coffee brewers. Unlike traditional coffee trade shows, the event focuses on people who brew coffee at home and want to improve their skills, discover new equipment and meet other coffee enthusiasts.

Who can attend the Home Barista Show?

Anyone with an interest in making better coffee at home is welcome. Whether you’re just starting your coffee journey or you’ve been brewing espresso for years, the Home Barista Show is designed to be welcoming, educational and enjoyable.

Do I need to own an espresso machine?

No. Many visitors use filter brewers, AeroPress, moka pots, French presses, pour over brewers or bean-to-cup machines. The Home Barista Show celebrates every way of brewing coffee at home.

What happens at the Home Barista Show?

Every Home Barista Show is different. However, visitors can usually expect equipment demonstrations, coffee tastings, educational talks, workshops, competitions, opportunities to meet leading coffee brands and exclusive event offers.
