Calling all specialty coffee roasters that operate at scale.

Visibility is easy. Getting in front of the right buyers, in the right decision environment, isn’t.

At ECS•COHO 2026, we’ve created two things built specifically for you:

→ The Roaster Village: Your home at ECS+COHO. A dedicated space in the COHO Gallery where specialty roasters pour, connect, and build commercial relationships. In partnership with
. No build. No logistics. Show up and pour.

→ The Roaster Manifesto Live: Your campaign. A 360° multi-channel programme amplifying your story to 115,000+ European buyers before, during, and after Berlin. in Berlin, 30 minutes. 12 hand-picked buyers. Your stage. Pour 4-5 coffees, share your philosophy, and have the conversations that lead to contracts.

→ 180 qualified buyer touchpoints
→ 12 curated buyers per session
→ 6 sessions per day across 3 days

You’re not competing for visibility. You’re competing for the moment a buyer decides who they trust at scale.

Gen Z and Coffee: The generation that rewrote the rules.

Gen Z isn’t rejecting coffee. They’re rejecting sameness.

→ Starbucks: 70% increase in tea sales since 2022
→ Manchester Airports: Gen Z leading smoothie sales up 650%, matcha up 165%
→ Beyond the Bean: Zuma matcha sales up 312% in 2025
→ Costa Coffee: Made matcha permanent on UK menu, Jan 2026

“Gen Z want to co-create drinks, spaces, and atmospheres together with the brand. They want to participate, not just purchase.” — André Eiermann, Global Product Manager, Melitta

Flavour-maxxing. Cloud coffee. Proffee. Pickle coffee cola.

“Your real competition isn’t just the café down the road—it’s matcha, energy drinks, and ready-to-drink too.” — Ilya Aksamentov, The Miners

The brands understanding this shift:

→ Blank Street: Built a near-$1bn valuation on Gen Z preferences
→ Joe & The Juice: 300 European outlets serving community-first experiences

Bloomin, Monin, Circle K, Sodexo: Already adapting

This isn’t a trend. It’s a structural shift. The operators navigating it will be at ECS+COHO 2026.

Project Café Europe 2026 mapped the five sourcing priorities shaping European coffee and hospitality right now.

1. More Choice & Customisation
2. More Convenience
3. More Formats
4. More Value
5. More Speed & Efficiency

Not aspirations. Active procurement briefs.

This is exactly why ECS+COHO 2026 exists, to put the suppliers addressing these five customer demands in the same room as the buyers sourcing those solutions. Same room. Three days. One decision environment.

Italy’s illycaffè just posted record revenues. €700M. Up 11%. Profit? Down 39%.

Illy’s CEO called it a “perfect storm”—rising costs, supply chain chaos, geopolitical pressure. But here’s the real story:

→ The European coffee market is splitting in two. Low-cost operators win on scale, premium brands win on experience.

The middle gets squeezed.

Revenue growth without profit growth isn’t success. It’s a warning sign.

The operators navigating this squeeze are making their positioning decisions at ECS+COHO 2026. Apply to attend via link in bio 🔗

Circle K just committed €10M to install Eversys SA machines across 260 stores in the Baltics.

The market is polarising. Convenience operators are investing in premium programmes. Craft operators are competing on experience. What’s disappearing is the middle.

The strategic decisions being made right now will determine who competes and who gets squeezed out.

That’s exactly why ECS+COHO exists.

When markets accelerate, decisions matter more. ECS+COHO is that decision environment.

➡️ 2,500+ decision-makers
➡️ 6BN+ buying power
➡️ 90,000+ European outlets represented

Circle K, Costa Coffee, Sodexo, Espresso House, and WatchHouse have already confirmed.

The operators making the decisions you’re competing against will be in Berlin.

Meet 3TEMP: Swedish brew systems built for how coffee moves now.

In 2013, two engineers in Arvika, Sweden saw the gap between coffee culture and brewing technology and they rebuilt it from scratch. Think flows, not functions. Clarity, not complexity. Experiences, not extractions. Cold, hot, and concentrate within a single system. KOBRA. PULS. GRIND.

This is 3TEMP. Brewing Culture.
