Key trends we’ve seen at coffee events in 2025 so far

Coffee events have long reflected wider industry trends. But in 2025, an unprecedented year for specialty coffee with record C prices, this has never been more apparent. At trade shows like World of Coffee Geneva, Specialty Coffee Expo Houston, London Coffee Festival, MICE, and Producer & Roaster Forum, for example, there have been noticeable shifts. Non-coffee products, such as matcha and plant-based milks, are proliferating, while premium home equipment is becoming a more prominent fixture. Producers are increasingly starting to export their coffee, reshaping trade dynamics. Roasters, meanwhile, are shifting to smaller, regional-format events to manage tighter marketing budgets. These pivots signal a market in flux, reflecting changing consumer preferences and a new era of pricing, and they’re likely to continue in the years ahead. Henry Wilson, the founder of Perfect Daily Grind, PDG Media, and Producer & Roaster Forum, shares his insight. You may also like our article on why high prices have shifted roasters’ priorities. Non-coffee products take centre stage One of the key changes at coffee events this year has been the trend towards non-coffee beverages and products. At the 2025 London Coffee Festival (LCF), for example, matcha, plant milks, functional drink powders, tonic, tea & chai, drinking chocolate, and even nut butters had a significantly larger presence than at previous editions. Functional coffee, in particular, is proliferating. Enhanced with additional ingredients, these products claim to offer extra benefits, such as improved focus, energy, or immune support. Adaptogenic mushrooms like lion’s mane, reishi, and chaga are increasingly found in RTD lattes. Ingredients like MCT and collagen are other popular additions, enjoyed by Gen Z for their purported health benefits. Industry events, once used exclusively as platforms for celebrating high-quality coffee, have now diversified their focus. This reflects broader market trends as business operators seek to incorporate new drinks and ingredients into their menus to meet evolving consumer demand. “It seems like cafés are becoming the main target audience at events, rather than roasters,” says Henry. “There has been a definite shift towards coffee-adjacent brands at trade shows and festivals in the last five or so years.” The reason for this is straightforward. While coffee prices have remained high and volatile, café owners and operators have increasingly sought out more menu options to diversify their revenue streams and differentiate themselves from coffee-focused businesses. Recent data supports this pivot. According to Westrock Coffee Company’s latest report, nearly one-third of US coffee drinkers want beverages that deliver targeted health benefits, such as functional ingredients like adaptogens for cognitive enhancement or probiotics for improved gut health. As consumers increasingly prioritise their well-being, roasters and other brands have responded to shifts in purchasing behaviour. In recent years, protein-enriched lattes and adaptogen-infused cold brews have become increasingly prevalent at both events and in the broader coffee industry. “A growing focus on wellness from Gen Z means we’re seeing functional ingredients, extracts, and more in the coffee sector,” Henry says. “Functional coffee is a cost-effective energy boost with the added advantage of health benefits.” Matcha’s dominance can’t be ignored By far, one of the most prominent products at coffee trade shows is now matcha. This year’s LCF featured several matcha brands, from artisanal importers to stylish, slick RTD companies, reflecting the wider diversification of the market. Originating from Japan and dating back to the 12th century, matcha has become a global phenomenon in recent years. Brands like Blank Street and Chamberlain Coffee are increasingly focusing on matcha-based drinks to drive sales, offering signature drinks like Cookies & Cream and Blueberry Matchas. According to the Wall Street Journal, matcha now accounts for up to 50% of Blank Street’s US sales. “For a business that initially made its mark with high-quality coffee, this is a huge pivot,” Henry says. “But the demand is still huge. Matcha is particularly popular with younger consumers, and much like espresso, it can be used as the base of a range of drinks – and consumed however you like it.” From small specialty coffee shops to bigger chains, it seems almost all are serving matcha drinks, and it’s paying off for them. Following the launch of its Peaches & Cream Matcha and Matcha Lemonade lines, the UK’s Black Sheep Coffee saw its sales of lemonade and matcha-based beverages jump by an impressive 315%. “We’re seeing a major shift towards photogenic, non-coffee drinks,” Henry says. “As Gen Z increasingly lead trends in the coffee industry, we’ll continue to see matcha proliferate at events and beyond.” Other drinks are also poised for further growth at trade shows and in the overall industry. Hojicha (a roasted green tea characterised by its toasty, caramel-like flavours), ube, taro, and pandan lattes are likely the next contenders, tapping into demand for aesthetic, wellness, and experiential beverages.

2025 National Coffee Data Trends Specialty Coffee Breakout Report Now Available

The 2025 National Coffee Data Trends (NCDT) Specialty Coffee Breakout report has been released by the National Coffee Association (NCA). Drawing on a nationally representative survey conducted by Dig Insights, this report is released as part of a partnership between the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and the National Coffee Association. Specialty coffee’s growth plays a key role in coffee’s overall popularity, with the full Spring 2025 National Coffee Data Trends (NCDT) report having shown that 66% of Americans had a coffee in the past day. The report also shares that 64% of 25–39-year-olds drank specialty coffee in the past week, more than any other age group. The report found that past-day specialty coffee drinkers are more likely to have their coffee prepared out-of-home (35%) than past-day traditional coffee drinkers (20%). 87% of past-day traditional coffee drinkers had their coffee prepared at home, while 74% of past-day specialty coffee drinkers had theirs prepared there. The Specialty Coffee Report also found that specialty coffee drinkers are aware of the health benefits associated with drinking coffee, with 61% saying they believe coffee is good for their health. This follows the FDA’s “healthy” rule recently going into effect, which automatically qualified plain coffee to be labeled as healthy, for the first time. NCA President and CEO Bill Murray commented: “Coffee’s remarkable ability to meet coffee drinkers’ evolving needs and preferences over time, is one of the many reasons it remains America’s favorite beverage. While specialty coffee’s rise in popularity has now reached record levels, traditional coffee remains a staple, too. Consumers’ interest in specialty coffee also coincides with a growing interest in health and wellness. Decades of robust, independent scientific evidence has shown that coffee drinkers live longer, healthier, happier lives.” “These findings affirm what our community has long believed—specialty coffee isn’t just growing; it’s becoming a defining part of how people experience coffee today,” said Yannis Apostolopoulos, SCA CEO, “From origin to café, consumers are seeking quality, connection, and meaning in every cup.” Additional key findings include: The West has the highest past-week specialty coffee consumption (58%) in the United States. 43% of American adults enjoyed an espresso-based beverage, and 28% enjoyed a non-espresso-based beverage in the past week. Past-day specialty coffee drinkers’ favorite method of coffee preparation is the drip coffee maker, with 36% choosing to have their coffee made this way. Their favorite type of roast is a medium roast, with 62% of past-day specialty coffee drinkers enjoying this type of coffee in the past day—up 35% since 2020. For this report, “specialty coffee” is defined as defined as including any espresso-based beverage (lattes, cappuccinos etc.); non-espresso-based beverages like frozen blend, cold brew, nitro; and traditional coffee that consumers perceive to be brewed from premium coffee beans/grounds. The 2025 NCDT Specialty Coffee Report is available here.

Growing a sustainable coffee future

Our morning cup of coffee is on the brink of extinction. According to a 2019 report by scientists at Britain’s Royal Botanic Gardens, 60 percent of all wild coffee species could disappear in the coming decades due to worsening climatic conditions, deforestation, and the spread of fungal pathogens and pests. Climate change alone, experts predict, could cut the land suitable for Arabica coffee production in half by 2050. Nespresso is working to ensure that doesn’t happen. To protect the planet and coffee production, the company is battling climate change from the ground up by planting millions of trees. By 2020, Nespresso plans to have added five million new trees to its coffee-producing regions in Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Planting trees offsets harmful carbon emissions—helping Nespresso achieve its goal of carbon neutrality—and helps coffee farming families build sustainable futures by improving soil quality and ensuring long-term quality coffee production. For Nespresso, trees are one of the essential keys to a sustainable future—not only of high-quality coffee but of the world’s rich coffee-growing cultures. Explains Arnaud Deschamps, CEO of Nespresso France in a recent interview, “You plant trees to offset your emissions. You help farmers with better land, better ecosystems and better revenues, so their children want to be farmers, too. And, we upgrade the coffee quality for our consumers.” Workers dry the coffee beans on the patio of the wet mill in Jalapa, Guatemala. Photograph by Rena Effendi PUR Projet, an organization that is a principal architect of insetting, an innovative type of carbon emissions offset that integrates socio-economic and environmental projects within a company’s supply chain, is helping Nespresso achieve its ambitious five-million tree goal. Unlike traditional carbon offsets, which are purchased to compensate for company-related emissions, insetting takes a holistic approach focused on proactively restoring ecosystems and building sustainability. For Nespresso, PUR Projet designed a custom agroforestry initiative that combines agriculture and forestry to make smallholder coffee farms more resilient to the effects of climate change. To meet the unique needs of each region, PUR Projet selects native trees and partners with local agronomists working with Nespresso and farmers through Nespresso’s AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. The initiative works to create long-term, sustainable coffee quality by building direct relationships with farmers. Beginning in 2014, the Nespresso agroforestry program began rolling out in Colombia, Ethiopia, and Guatemala. To date, Nespresso has achieved its carbon-neutrality goal. Between 2014 and 2018 alone, 3.5 million trees were planted in the three countries. Over the next 30 years, those trees are expected to remove (sequester) an estimated 398,000 tC02e (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) from the atmosphere. Here’s how it works: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful greenhouse gases, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, from the air through photosynthesis and return oxygen back into the atmosphere as a byproduct. The Nespresso agroforestry program not only helps towards a better ecosystem, but also provides an income for farmers and their families. Photograph by Rena Effendi When in balance, greenhouse gases keep the planet’s climate habitable by trapping heat from the sun. Today’s historically high levels of greenhouse gases—primarily caused, scientists say, by the burning of fossil fuels—however, have trapped heat close to the Earth. The resulting climatic change is what’s altering the very land, air, water, and weather patterns coffee growers have relied upon for generations. By strategically placing trees at the center of coffee production systems, Nespresso’s agroforestry program may not save the entire planet, but they are a giant step forward in the effort to save coffee by restoring and preserving coffee ecosystems.

The evolution of coffee culture: From bean to cup to lifestyle

Delving into the depth of what “good” coffee means Every morning, as dawn breaks, millions stir from slumber, their day initiated by the ritualistic brewing of coffee. This beverage, with its enveloping aroma and invigorating taste, plays a pivotal role in our global society. From clandestine rendezvous in romantic locales to fueling high-powered business meetings, coffee occupies a sacred space in our routines. But amidst this universal appeal lies an intriguing question: what defines a “good” coffee?   As we delve into the depth of what ‘good’ coffee means, it’s also essential to consider the health aspects. Understanding the caffeine content of coffee is crucial, as it can vary widely depending on factors like the type of bean, roast, and brewing method. Historical footsteps Intricately woven into the annals of history is coffee’s enchanting tale. The legend of Kaldi and his spirited goats offers just a vignette of coffee’s journey. After this serendipitous discovery in the Ethiopian wilderness, coffee seeds embarked on a journey of their own. Cultivated under Arabian suns, they became the potion of the elite in Yemen, eventually finding themselves being savored in Venetian palazzos and later energizing the industrious vibes of American urban landscapes. Through each epoch, coffee reinvented itself, transforming from a mystical Sufi potion in the Middle East to a symbol of European sophistication and then into an emblem of American enterprise and innovation. The subjectivity of taste Imagine savoring a cup of ‘egg coffee’ in Vietnam, where creamy egg yolks blend with coffee, offering a dessert-like treat. Contrast this with the minimalist approach in Nordic countries, where coffee, often light-roasted and unadulterated, is savored for its nuanced flavors. Travel to Turkey, and your coffee might come with a touch of mysticism, as it’s often associated with fortune-telling traditions. In Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, the coffee ceremony is an elaborate ritual, reflecting the nation’s deep-rooted respect for this beverage. This spectrum of preferences doesn’t just highlight the diversity in flavors and brewing methods but also underscores a deeper narrative. The taste, preparation, and consumption of coffee is a window into a region’s history, its socio-cultural nuances, and its interaction with the wider world. “Good” coffee, thus, is not just about the perfect roast or the ideal brewing temperature; it’s about stories, memories, and the intricate dance of cultures. In this exploration of coffee, we don’t just seek to understand a beverage; we endeavor to delve into a rich reservoir of global traditions, experiences, and emotions. As we explore the story of coffee, we’re not merely tracing the journey of a bean; we’re navigating the pathways of human civilization. EHL Culinary Arts Workshops and Master Classes Culinary, Pastry and Oenology Short Courses in French For Professionals and Amateurs. Learn the secrets of EHL’s Top Chefs and strengthen your competencies in Culinary Arts Discover A global affair: coffee’s journey around the world In the quiet rustle of the coffee plantations, in the aromatic waft from steaming mugs in diverse lands, and in the universal clinking of coffee cups, lies an epic saga. This isn’t just about a beverage; it’s the chronicle of human endeavors, innovations, and the ceaseless intertwining of cultures and destinies. Major coffee hubs and their rich histories The world map of coffee is dotted with tales of adventure, intrigue, and passion. When the Dutch introduced coffee to Java in Indonesia, they did more than plant a crop. They planted an identity, one that would define the region’s ecology, economy, and global repute. But Indonesia is just one thread in this global tapestry. Think of Brazil, today’s coffee giant, a legacy of its Portuguese colonizers who recognized the potential of its sprawling landscapes. Or Yemen, where the port city of Mocha, synonymous with a certain coffee type, was once the epicenter of the coffee trade, linking the East and West. And then there’s the romanticized tale of Baba Budan, an Indian pilgrim who, legend has it, smuggled seven coffee seeds from Mecca, laying the foundation for India’s coffee plantations. These tales are not just of plantations and produce but of geopolitical maneuverings, cultural exchanges, and often serendipitous events. Coffee cultures in their full splendor Each nation, each community, embraces coffee and makes it their own. The Turks, for instance, grind it to a fine powder, brewing it unfiltered, resulting in a rich, robust drink where the grounds settle at the bottom, ready to tell your fortune. This tradition, mystical in its allure, is as much about bonding as it is about the brew. Venture to the Middle East, and you’ll find coffee infused with cardamom, a fragrant nod to ancient trade routes and the region’s storied history with spices. Italy gave us espresso, a quick yet potent shot, reflecting perhaps the fast-paced vibrancy of Italian city life. And then there’s the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, a spiritual, communal experience symbolizing respect and friendship. South Korea’s transformation into a coffee-consuming giant brings with it unique cafes – from ones filled with flowers to others boasting vintage vinyl collections. The café culture here isn’t just about the drink; it’s about aesthetics, experience, and creating memories. This isn’t merely a beverage being sipped; it’s history, anthropology, and art in a cup. As we traverse continents and cultures, it becomes evident that coffee isn’t just loved universally – it’s revered, adapted, and celebrated in myriad, beautiful ways.   When do we crave coffee? Exploring the times and reasons. If the journey of coffee beans is an odyssey across terrains and cultures, the timing of its consumption is a dance with changing eras, purposes, and social constructs. Coffee’s chronological evolution The dawn of coffee’s consumption saw it embraced by Ethiopian monks as a secret elixir, enabling them to converse with the divine in prolonged nocturnal vigils. But as the beans traveled beyond the monastic walls of Africa and into the vivacious landscapes of the Middle East, it began to find its place in more secular settings, with people enjoying it in gatherings after sunset prayers. The coffee story took a significant

How the world came to run on coffee?

It’s a rich dark liquid that flows across the world and greases the wheels of our economies. It’s one of the most traded commodities. And there are fears that, with a seemingly irrepressible demand, we may one day run dry. No, I’m not talking about oil, but coffee. More than two billion “cups of joe” are drunk every day and for many, working life would feel impossible without it. As traditionally tea-drinking countries like China are seduced by coffee’s charms, it may soon become the world’s favourite drink. What is driving this insatiable thirst, and how has the beverage come to conquer the world? Is it the abrasive but aromatic flavours, its psychoactive effects or its social currency? And how can its farmers overcome the challenges created by human-made climate change? Coffee’s story starts in the lush highlands of Ethiopia, the natural homeland of the delicate Coffea arabica plant. Although they are called “coffee beans”, the plant is not a legume, and the fruits of the coffee tree look more like cherries when they are first picked. The seeds inside are extracted and dried before the process of roasting turns them into the hard, nutty nodules we feed into our grinders. The Oromo people from this region are thought to have been the first to have noticed the stimulating effects of these “beans”, and coffee still remains an important element of their traditional cuisine. Exactly how and when it spread beyond Ethiopia is still the subject of many legends, but the available historic records suggest that the Sufis of Yemen were the first truly devoted drinkers outside Africa in the Middle Ages – where it was intimately connected with their mystic rituals. “Never was a religious ceremony performed without coffee being drunk,” writes the food writer and cultural anthropologist Claudia Roden. Its caffeine helped them to continue their practices late into the night, while the roasting of the bean was apparently taken as an analogy for the transcendence of the human soul. Coffee houses soon spread across the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire, where they caught the attention of Western traders, who took the beguiling drink back to their home countries in the 17th Century. The early drinkers were firm believers in its medicinal properties. Roden quotes one newspaper advert in 1657 that described the drink as “having many excellent virtues, closes the orifice of the stomack, fortifies the heart within, helpeth dijestion, quickneth the spirits…” These observations have been born out by recent studies, which suggest that coffee can offer some protection from certain common diseases. A recent review of the evidence by Susanna Larsson at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that each cup of coffee per day is associated with a 6% reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes. Laura Van Dongen at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, meanwhile, has found that regular coffee drinkers were at least 20% less likely to die from heart disease. Besides providing this reportedly life-enhancing drink, the early European coffee houses also became popular meeting places for businessmen – and some even birthed the financial institutions we still turn to today. The insurance company Lloyds of London, for instance, emerged from the Lloyds Coffee Shop in the 18th Century, where sailors and merchants would meet to discuss their affairs. European settlers would also come to introduce the plant to their colonies in Asia and South America: Portugal brought coffee to Brazil, France to Vietnam, and Spain to Colombia. The sale of coffee was intimately linked with the slave trade, which was not abolished until the 1850s in Colombia and the 1880s in Brazil. Coffee still remains vital for these countries’ economies, and Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia are today the three biggest producers of the raw coffee bean, while the United States, Germany and France are the biggest importers.

Caffeine Culture: Why this generation is obsessed with coffee?

Be it the Bigg Boss fights or every day life, a cup of coffee is like that sip of life that people swear by! In recent years, coffee has transcended its status as a simple morning beverage to become a cultural phenomenon, particularly among the younger generation. This obsession with coffee is also evident in the proliferation of coffee shops, the rise of specialty coffee, and the myriad ways in which people integrate coffee into their daily lives. But what drives this coffee craze? The reasons are multifaceted, encompassing social, psychological, and cultural dimensions. The social aspect Coffee shops have become modern-day social hubs. For many, they serve as a preferred location for casual meetings, study sessions, or simply as a space to unwind. The ambiance of a coffee shop, with its cozy seating and inviting aroma, provides a conducive environment for both work and leisure. Moreover, the act of sharing a cup of coffee with friends or colleagues fosters social bonds. This communal experience is a significant factor behind the coffee culture boom. The psychological boost Caffeine, the primary stimulant in coffee, is well-known for its ability to enhance alertness and improve mood. For students and professionals alike, coffee is a tool to combat fatigue and maintain productivity. The ritualistic aspect of brewing and drinking coffee also provides a psychological comfort, offering a moment of respite and routine in an otherwise hectic day. This daily ritual can enhance one’s sense of well-being and preparedness to tackle tasks. Abhinav Mathur, CEO & Managing Director of Kaapi Machines spoke to us about this coffee craze among the youngsters and this is what he had to say. “This obsession stems from coffee’s ability to fuel creativity and productivity, offering a comforting ritual that fosters social connections. The wide variety of flavours and brewing techniques transforms each cup into an exploration of taste, making coffee a drink and an experience. For many, coffeehouses serve as community hubs, providing spaces for collaboration and relaxation. Ultimately, the modern coffee craze is driven by the blend of tradition, innovation, and the simple pleasure of a perfect brew.”

Coffee – The Nutrition Source

Coffee lovers around the world who reach for their favorite morning brew probably aren’t thinking about its health benefits or risks. And yet this beverage has been subject to a long history of debate. In 1991 coffee was included in a list of possible carcinogens by the World Health Organization. By 2016 it was exonerated, as research found that the beverage was not associated with an increased risk of cancer; on the contrary, there was a decreased risk of certain cancers among those who drink coffee regularly once smoking history was properly accounted for. Additional accumulating research suggests that when consumed in moderation, coffee can be considered a healthy beverage. Why then in 2018 did one U.S. state pass legislation that coffee must bear a cancer warning label? Read on to explore the complexities of coffee. Source Of Caffeine Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) Magnesium Plant chemicals: polyphenols including chlorogenic acid and quinic acid, and diterpenes including cafestol and kahweol One 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains about 95 mg of caffeine. A moderate amount of coffee is generally defined as 3-5 cups a day, or on average 400 mg of caffeine, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Coffee and Health Coffee is an intricate mixture of more than a thousand chemicals. [1] The cup of coffee you order from a coffee shop is likely different from the coffee you brew at home. What defines a cup is the type of coffee bean used, how it is roasted, the amount of grind, and how it is brewed. Human response to coffee or caffeine can also vary substantially across individuals. Low to moderate doses of caffeine (50–300 mg) may cause increased alertness, energy, and ability to concentrate, while higher doses may have negative effects such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and increased heart rate.
