The Asean Café Show will be back to boost the coffee, tea, beverage, bakery, ice cream and chocolate industries at Bitec Hall 103-104, Bang Na-Trat Road, daily from 10am to 7pm, starting Thursday to Sunday.
This is a new umbrella name of Thailand Coffee, Tea & Drinks and Thailand Bakery & Ice Cream held by Kavin Intertrade for 16 years. Featuring the concept of "One Stop Cafe Solution", the 17th edition will bring around 250 exhibitors from Thailand, China, Taiwan and Singapore to showcase more than 8,000 cutting-edge products at 300 booths.
Product categories encompass a wide array of equipment for coffee shops, including various sizes of coffee machines, grinders, roasting machines and accessories. Raw materials and ingredients such as different coffee bean varieties, specialty coffee, tea leaves, syrups, and sweeteners will also be available.
Bakers will find dough kneaders, ovens, cake decorating ingredients and moulds while ice cream makers can explore gelato machines, ice cream powder, cream substitutes and powdered milk. Also offered will be an extensive range of packaging options, including cups, glasses, and beverage containers, refrigerated bakery showcase, chillers and freezers and ice making machines.
There will be around 50 activities curated by various associations including the Horticultural Science Society of Thailand, Barista Association of Thailand, Thai Coffee Association, Thailand Coffee and Tea Association and the Thai Bakery Association.
A highlight will be the Thailand National Coffee Roasting Championship 2024 that allows visitors to taste the award-winning coffee beans, much-acclaimed Thai GI coffee and six other specialty coffee beans. The winner will represent the country on the global stage next year.
Barista champions, renowned chefs and industry experts will share exquisite recipes for coffee, tea, beverages, bakery items and ice cream; while coffee shop owners and coffee aficionados can engage in insightful discussions on industry trends, such as sustainability in the Thai coffee business, coffee roasting profiles and grinding methods.
