The newly crowned ‘national champion’ baristas (in three categories) will go on to represent Malaysia at the World of Coffee Championships (WCC).ĭespite a relatively short history of competing on the world stage, Malaysian baristas have already won gold and silver medals at previous editions of the WCC, highlighting the passion and world-class standards that Malaysian baristas are displaying not only for the judges, but also Malaysian coffee enthusiasts. In addition, to the exhibition element, the organisers have teamed up with the Malaysia Specialty Coffee Association (MSCA) to host the semi-finals and finals of the 7th edition of the Malaysia National Coffee Championship (MNCC) at the event.

Over 150 brands from seven countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom will be exhibiting at the event which is focused on speciality coffee, drinks, F&B products and café lifestyle, as well as furniture, design and technology related to café operations. ICBS is one of the first international exhibitions to return to Malaysia in the wake of the pandemic, reflecting the organiser’s faith in the resilience and vibrancy of the Malaysian coffee and café industry. The International Café & Beverage Show (ICBS) 2022 will be opening its doors to the Malaysian café and coffee industry (and coffee connoisseurs) from the 19th to 21st of May at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
