CCBe

We have a growing number of speciality coffee bars and Roasters. We have many talented coffee professionals in the business so we thought it was time to take action! We want to take our coffee scene to the next level with aims of sending a Belgian delegation to participate at global competitions.

Because we’re a community, we want to motivate all specialty coffee professionals/amateurs in Belgium, beyond brand or coffee shops, to participate and contribute. We want to grow as a whole, in unity together. In this community we are free of exclusivity and judgment. We welcome you: the homegrown cappuccino lover, the barista with years of experience, beginning coffee roaster, espresso machine engineer, and everyone in between and beyond.

We underline great importance to the specialty side of coffee. We strongly believe in the importance of approaching the industry with high standards of quality, sustainability and human conditions through the whole supply chain. Our focus is on the specialty coffee scene, but we are also connecting/collaborating with our commodity colleagues to help build a shift to a more specialty side. We want to create awareness about the importance of good, quality coffee to the general public. Step by step our aim is to make specialty the standard coffee of choice.

Through our events and online platform we want to connect to all coffee people. We want to connect coffee enthusiasts to the professionals. We want to facilitate young entrepreneurs’ connection to professional partners and brands.

Even though we’re proud of the high level our industry is at now, there is always room for growth & improvement; we want to facilitate this growth, and learn from each other's experiences. There will be space for education, workshops and summits.
