The aroma of freshly brewed coffee is set to take over Bengaluru as the India International Coffee Festival (IICF) 2025 returns with its thrilling semi-finals and finals. Hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association of India (SCAI) with support from the Coffee Board of India, the event will run from April 25th to 27th at Marakata, Chamara Vajra, located on Jayamahal Main Road.

After a successful 2024 edition across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, IICF is back to bring India’s most talented brewers and baristas under one roof. From heated coffee battles to soulful conversations over a cuppa, this festival goes beyond the bean. It blends the rich world of coffee with lifestyle, food, music, and more promising an experience both professionals and coffee lovers will cherish.

The spotlight will shine on major championships, including the National Barista Championship (NBC), National Latte Art Championship, and National Brewers Cup (NBrC)—all leading up to the grand finale of the National Filter Coffee Championship. Whether you're a seasoned barista, a curious coffee drinker, or someone simply chasing great flavours, this is your go-to event.

"IICF has always been an inspiration for coffee lovers, industry experts, and brands. As we return with the much-anticipated semi-finals and finals, we’re proud to once again spotlight and celebrate the country’s finest coffee talent,” said D.M. Purnesh, President of SCAI.

Adding to this, Sreeram G., Director of Marketing at SCAI, shared, “The India International Coffee Festival is not just about competition; it’s about connection.” He highlighted how the festival creates space for people to share ideas, explore trends, and experience the magic of coffee as a lifestyle.
