Many home baristas share the same frustration - despite investing in expensive machines, premium beans and the latest gadgets, their coffee never seems to taste quite as good as the one served in their favourite café. This June, Ireland's only destination coffee festival is aiming to change that.

Hosted by The Old Barracks Coffee Roastery, the festival has grown into one of Ireland's most unique lifestyle events, attracting coffee enthusiasts, food lovers and curious consumers from across the country.
Designed for people who brew at home—whether you use a French press, a pod machine, or a high-end home espresso setup—this three-day event will help you master your morning ritual and it promises a coffee-fuelled lineup of exhibitors, interactive workshops, live barista competitions, guest speakers, educational masterclasses, brewing demos and exclusive tastings of the best coffees in Ireland.
While Friday, June 26th, will host trade-focused sessions for aspiring café owners, the core of the festival on Saturday and Sunday is dedicated entirely to the coffee-curious consumer.
Visitors can also win incredible coffee prizes every single day including a Sage Barista Touch Impress (worth €1,500) and other prizes worth up to €500 including a year’s supply of coffee through the Old Barracks Coffee Roastery signature subscription service.
