LE PARIS CAFE FESTIVAL 2023, THE BIGGEST COFFEE PARTY ON EARTH

USPA NEWS - Organized by a Team of Grassroots Coffee Afficianados and Seasoned Event Producers alike, "Le Paris Café Festival" (formerly CAFÉ! Festival & Expo) was born out of a Dream to spread the Word about Speciality Coffee, in all its Forms, to as many People as possible in the Land of the "Petit Noir."

Organized by a Team of Grassroots Coffee Afficianados and Seasoned Event Producers alike, "Le Paris Café Festival" (formerly CAFÉ! Festival & Expo) was born out of a Dream to spread the Word about Speciality Coffee, in all its Forms, to as many People as possible in the Land of the "Petit Noir."

Until 2019, Paris was one of the Only Major Metropolises to have No Major Event devoted exclusively to Coffee. In the Capital of Fine Dining, perhaps the Elevated Coffee Experience was the Last Missing Ingredient. So was set to work to conceptualise and create a Thriving Celebration of the Speciality Coffee Movement and the People working within it, from Crop to Cup.

The Mission? To make the Diversity of Coffee Culture known to as Many People as Possible, elevate Quality Standards throughout the Industry and become a Catalyst for Growth and Excellence. From the beginning of the Adventure, they wanted to showcase some of the Rarest and Finest Single Origin Coffees from around the World, whilst respecting the Long-Lasting Tradition of Espresso Culture in France.
