Global Coffee Awards Europe 2026

The Global Coffee Awards Europe edition will take place from 24 to 26 October 2026 at Belco in Bordeaux, France.

The GCA is a prestigious competition that addresses a gap in the coffee industry, recognising the world’s best roasteries and the producers who grow their coffees. Unlike other coffee championships, the GCA rewards the overall brand rather than an individual roaster, allowing companies to strengthen their brand identity.

Specialty coffee roasters in Europe can submit bags of their top coffees across defined categories for blind judging by a panel of experts. Regional winners will then proceed to the global finals, where the world champion will be announced.
