🇦🇺 Melbourne Coffee Weekend returns on 7–8 November

Event dates · 7–8 Nov 2026

Melbourne Coffee Weekend brings more than 40 Australian and international roasters to Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne on 7–8 November 2026. Each ticket includes nine tasting tokens, letting visitors try filter coffees across the roaster line-up, alongside access to workshops and retail coffee.

It is a useful one-stop tasting weekend for anyone building a Melbourne coffee itinerary or looking beyond their usual beans. Sessions run from 8am to 4pm across both days, and the market setting makes it easy to pair a focused coffee visit with a wider CBD and Queen Victoria Market wander.

☕️ Bangkok hosts 2026 World Cup Tasters result

Check dates with the organiser

World Coffee Championships has confirmed Le Quang Cuong (Nicky), representing Vietnam, as the 2026 World Cup Tasters Champion after the Bangkok competition. The event ran May 7-9 at World of Coffee Bangkok, with 46 competitors and a final ranking that also included Catherine Queiroz, Mehmet Sogan, and Mizuki Tagami.

Why it matters: Bangkok is a Filter Notes city, and hosting a major global sensory competition is a useful marker for readers tracking where the specialty coffee calendar is concentrating attention.
