Drip Connects 2025
Just before World of Coffee Geneva, we’re opening the doors to our roastery for conversation, cupping, and connection. This is a chance to meet familiar faces – and new ones – in a casual, open setting a mere two hours from Geneva by direct train. We’ll talk coffee, taste some great things, and enjoy a summer evening together in Bern.
Our goal is for everyone to walk away having learned something new about specialty coffee – and to see it through the eyes of others along the supply chain.
We’ll keep updating this page as more details (like talk topics and speakers) are confirmed so feel free to check back in the weeks leading up to the event.
