The 2026 coffee calendar is already beginning to form not one, but two announcements of events from the Special Coffee Association this week.
First it was one of the two messages that San Diego in California was to host Expo 2026 SCA. It’s not right. The second part of the announcement was that Expo is rebranding and will now be adapted to the world of coffee nomenclature used for a series of events everywhere outside the United States. Specialist Expo Coffee in Houston this month will be the last nickname.
