The India International Coffee Festival (IICF), the country’s only dedicated coffee festival, will take place from February 12 to 14, 2026, at Chamara Vajra, Jayamahal Road, Bengaluru. Organised by the Speciality Coffee Association of India (SCAI) with support from the Coffee Board of India and presented by NESCAFÉ, Nestlé India, the event will bring together the full spectrum of India’s coffee ecosystem.
IICF 2026 is expected to attract over 20,000 visitors, including coffee growers, processors, exporters, roasters, equipment manufacturers, café brands, baristas, and consumers. The festival focusses on collaboration, knowledge exchange, innovation, and market access at a time when India’s coffee sector is shifting towards quality-led growth.
Shri Kurma Rao M, IAS, CEO & Secretary, Coffee Board of India, said, “Indian coffee is gaining recognition for its quality and diversity. Platforms such as IICF play an important role in connecting producers with markets, encouraging best practices, and supporting long-term growth.”
Hamsini Appadurai, President, SCAI and organiser of IICF, added that this edition reflects the sector’s move from a commodity-driven approach to a quality- and experience-focused market, with greater scale and business engagement.
The festival features curated tastings, workshops, and cupping sessions under a farm-to-cup framework. The National Coffee Championships will also take place, with winners earning opportunities to represent India internationally.
