Porto Coffee Week is more than a festival, it is a platform for long-term impact on coffee culture, education and the community.
Following three incredible editions of the Coffee Market at the Alfândega do Porto, the Porto Coffee Week Coffee Market is now a free-admission event at the iconic Mercado do Bolhão, in the heart of Porto, highlighting the professionals shaping the new Portuguese coffee scene while bringing together community, knowledge and experience from across the city.
Through partnerships with catering schools and temporary educational spaces, Porto Coffee Week contributes to the sharing of knowledge and the professional development of future baristas and hospitality professionals. By connecting consumers, home baristas, professionals and brands, the event strengthens the Portuguese coffee ecosystem and creates space for collaboration, networking and the development of new talent.
Porto Coffee Week brings together the national coffee community, simultaneously welcoming international professionals and brands, creating a common stage that elevates Portuguese coffee culture and gives it international visibility and recognition.
As part of its commitment to professional excellence, the event will host the National Aeropress Championship in 2026, raising the profile of the barista profession and demonstrating the skill, creativity and technical expertise behind coffee in a relaxed environment.
Porto Coffee Week actively promotes responsible practices, including reusable cups, a no-disposables policy and plant-based milk as the default option, reinforcing a more conscious approach to events.
