The inaugural Malaysia Coffee Fest will celebrate Malaysia’s vibrant coffee culture. From top class baristas to talented local artisan roasters to independent coffee shops and more, Malaysia Coffee Fest will be held in Kuala Lumpur from 5 to 7 May 2017 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Coffee in Malaysia has been enjoying a promising growth in recent years mostly due to the increasing urbanization of the country. Lifestyle changes and the demands of young consumers for convenient and fashionable products have had a positive impact on the growth and direction of the industry.

“Having successfully organized Café Malaysia over the last two years, we are encouraged by the growth of the industry and the passion of its players,” said Edward Liu, PBM, group managing director, CEMS Conference & Exhibition (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. He noted that many towns in Malaysia are enjoying the mushrooming of hip coffee joints that offer an aromatic cup of coffee and the warm hospitality that Malaysians are known for.

The coffee celebration is organized by the creator of the successful Café Malaysia series, CEMS Conference & Exhibition (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and co-hosted by the Malaysia Specialty Coffee Association (MSCA) and Café Owners Alliance, Malaysia (COA My). The festival will bring together the many cafés and well-known local coffee players and unite coffee lovers all over Malaysia at an exciting event that promises the best coffee brews Malaysia has to offer.
