Each year at Expo is a blast. We get to connect with the coffee community in person, learn from experts, try incredible coffees, and of course have some evening drinks with friends and colleagues.
This year is no different and we can’t wait. Read on for what we’ve got in store!
Yes we have two booths this year with 2 different experiences.
Booth 1218 is dedicated to those that need to roast coffee at the show. We know many producers who use Expo as a really important business opportunity, and by providing the option to roast their samples fresh at the show we hope this can help them out.
The Roasting Station is open to anyone though, so we invite competitors, and anyone else who needs to use it to come by.
There will be IKAWA team members and guests to make sure that even if you haven’t used IKAWA before, you can get a great roast for your needs.
Click here to reserve a space on the roasting station.
Guests include Katia Duke, Onyx Coffee, Irene from Mav Coffee, Blommers, and Ally Coffee.
Booth 1439 is the IKAWA booth. Come by to try the Pro100x, sample a coffee from our brew bar, learn from our amazing guests, chat with Peter, our Production Manager about maintenance and cleaning, and of course, come away with some awesome merchandise.
Guests include: Griffin Hall of Verve Coffee, Daniel Velasquez Campesino Coffee (Medellín, Colombia), Emi Fukahori (Mame), Rafael Marques FAF Coffee Brazil, Juan Sebastián Gómez (La Palma y El Tucan / Equation Coffee), Tony Auger (Goshen Coffee, Chicago)
Roasters at the Show
We will have a limited stock of roasters that are available to take away from the show. We will also be running a show special. If you are interested in one of these roasters, you can reach out to us ahead of time at sales@ikawacoffee.com.
Merchandise
Less important, but equally fun, is some merch that we’re bringing to the show. We’ve got too much to list here, so come by and check it out.
Party on Saturday Night
Expo always includes some fun in the evening and we’d love to invite you to join us Saturday April 13. We’re having a party with Algrano at Overflow Coffee with great drinks, music, and of course people. Don’t worry about food: Buhler is bringing in classic Chicago-style hot dogs!
Over Flow is a great cafe, and it’s in the historic old offices of Vee-Jay Records.
See you in Chicago!
