That was our fall trade show season in 2026
This fall’s trade show season was intense, varied, and full of wonderful encounters for us. From Stuttgart to Zurich to Salzburg, we showcased what coffee is capable of today.
Südback: Freshly Roasted in Stuttgart
Over 35,000 visitors from more than 90 countries attended Südback—slightly more than in 2024. We were there with the Black&White4 and the Black&White4 compact in all their variants. The two Mikafi roasters were real eye-catchers. We roasted coffee right at the booth several times a day—and the aroma was free of charge. Highlights included the BW4 compact with a dual-milk solution, the modular system, ThermoplanConnect, and Chilled Foam for creative cold beverages. The Black&White4 Competizione, the official machine of the World Latte Art Championships, also invited visitors to test their own latte art skills.
Swiss Coffee Festival: Live Roasting in Zurich
We were on-site at the Swiss Coffee Festival with our Mikafi roaster. Over 4,000 coffee enthusiasts visited the festival over the two days. At our booth, we roasted live more than 40 times. A special highlight was our guest roasters Andrew Katumba from Isule Coffee Zurich and Mirei Tanaka-Lingg from Blossom Coffee Cham. They roasted at our booth and made the experience even more special. Thank you, Zurich, for an unforgettable weekend!
Alles für den Gast: Machines and Latte Art in Salzburg
The event concluded with “Alles für den Gast,” where approximately 37,000 trade visitors met with nearly 750 exhibitors. For us, much of the focus was on latte art. Julian Tomala, the 2026 Austrian Latte Art and Barista Champion, demonstrated at the booth how espresso and milk are transformed into little works of art. The showcase also featured the Black&White4 compact with a dual-milk system, creative drinks with chilled foam, and insights into the ThermoplanConnect digital solution.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and enjoyed coffee with us.
We’re now slowly heading toward the end of the year. We look back on an exciting fall trade show season and are taking many ideas and inspirations with us. We’re looking forward to everything that’s still to come—and, of course, to many more great cups of coffee in the new year. See you soon!
