The curtain of ATHENS COFFEE FESTIVAL 2026 at Technopolis City of Athens opened in the most impressive way!

From early in the morning, the city was flooded with aromas of freshly roasted coffee. Visitors had the opportunity to browse among more than 200 coffee brands and new age beverages, tasting rare and unique varieties from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Vietnam. Top baristas prepared right in front of the audience everything from classic espressos and traditional Greek coffee to aromatic cold brews, nitro coffees, refreshing matcha, tea, artisanal soft drinks, and energy & functional drinks.

Setting the rhythm and mood of the day were Super Hosts Thanasis Passas, Fosbloque, and Lymperis Melki, filling the venue with games, selfies, and non-stop happenings. Meanwhile, at the Amphitheater, the duo Ilias Fountoulis & Angelos Spiliopoulos offered plenty of laughter with their stand-up comedy show.

Education and experience held the place of honor at the "Coffee Matters" seminars, where coffee lovers learned the secrets of proper extraction and home equipment to become home baristas, while the action peaked at the Panhellenic Coffee Championships 2027 by SCA Greece (Roasting). The day closed magically with Queen G (#2 female DJ in Greece) taking the sunset to new heights with her sunset DJ set!
