Dublin Coffee Festival - More Caffeinated than Ever!

The Dublin Coffee Festival is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more caffeinated than ever. Taking over the RDS on April 12th and 13th, this two-day event is the ultimate playground for anyone who loves their brew.

Expect fantastic coffee, hands-on workshops, expert talks, and, of course, plenty of free samples.

What’s Brewing at the Festival?

The Coffee Playground

Get ready to meet some of Ireland’s best coffee roasters and international names shaking up the scene. From specialty beans to alternative milks and the latest espresso machines, you’ll find everything you need to take your coffee game to the next level. Bell Lane Coffee Roasters, Ariosa Coffee, and Badger & Dodo are just a few of the big names setting up shop.

Latte Art Throwdown

The Latte Art Competition is where baristas show off their skills. Watch as competitors go head-to-head in a high-stakes competition of the best pours.

SCA Cup Tasters Competition

Think you can tell the difference between a Rwandan single-origin and a washed Ethiopian? This competition puts taste buds to the test, as participants try to identify different brews in a timed challenge.

Coffee Talks & Panel Discussions

Curious about where your coffee comes from or how climate change is affecting your morning cup? Industry experts will be leading talks on everything from sustainable sourcing to the latest trends in coffee tech.

Workshops & Hands-On Experiences

If you’ve ever wanted to perfect your pour-over technique, dial in the perfect espresso shot, or learn more about coffee roasting, this is your chance.
