CUPPING

Helsinki Coffee Festival features a dedicated cupping area, where roasteries have the opportunity to present their coffees to the audience and offer visitors an interactive tasting experience.

The cupping area is located in the central area of the main hall. It is an excellent way to reach new consumer and business customers, and visitors have expressed a strong wish for more experiential, participatory programming at the event — exactly what the cupping table provides.

A total of 13 slots are available.
