Coffee is no longer just a crop but it has become a conversation. At ComCof 2026, farmers, processors, roasters, cuppers and enthusiasts gather with a shared purpose that goes beyond trade or taste. They come together for ‘coffee and sharing.’
As Été Coffee marks its 10th anniversary, Lichan Humstoe, CEO of Été Coffee explained that CoMCof is a short form of ‘community coffee’- a collaborative coffee-focused gathering or platform where farmers, roasters, professionals and enthusiast come together to share knowledge, demonstrate processing methods, cup coffees and promote open resource sharing within the coffee ecosystem.
Commemorating the anniversary at Été Coffee, he presented a live demonstration on the basics from fresh coffee cherry to fermentation followed by a guided coffee cupping session.
The highlight of the day was the presentation of ‘Thutshe Coffee and Sourdough Coffee’ alongwith a range of other anaerobic fermentation profiles for comparison and learning.
