Best of Budapest & Hungary

More coffee, accessories and other products than ever before from around fifty exhibitors, barista championships and twelve accompanying programs await the 14th CoffeeBar Bazaar on Saturday and Sunday in Hall B of Millenáris Park in Budapest.

    Visitors to the country's largest coffee festival can sample exhibitors' products for free with the purchase of a ticket. This year's program includes a number of novelties, from Tasting Table tastings to a CoffeeBar quiz afternoon,  the organizers said.

   They stressed that visitors will be able to get acquainted with the latest machines, coffee equipment and the latest innovations in coffee roasting. The premium beverage showcase will also be further enhanced at the event, where the organizers are preparing a number of accompanying events, including free guided tastings, competitions and entertainment programs.

    The CoffeeBar Bazaar also traditionally hosts professional championships. Over two days, the CoffeeBar AeroPress Championship will take place, with the winner going to the World of Coffee expo in Copenhagen, and the Alproccino Latte Art competition will feature a cash prize competition, with the winners presenting colorful coffee creams and guerrilla pours.

    A new feature is the exclusive Tasting Table, where guests can purchase an additional ticket to participate in a 12-person tasting program. The bar focus of this year's event will be vermouth, with several programs featuring Spanish, Italian and Hungarian versions of the rediscovered drink.

    On Sunday afternoon, the program will conclude with a Coffee Bar Quiz, where visitors can test their skills for prizes, while several exhibitors will organize their own tournaments, the release said.
