WOC San Diego Roundup 2026

Posted on March 25th, 2026

Let’s kick it in San Diego!

​We’ll be at WOC San Diego April 10-12th. Come chill with us at Booth #3140!

We’re stoked to host cuppings, bring back the SOURCE podcast and Expo’s Greatest Scavenger Hunt, and run the Legendary Coffee Exchange. Check out all the details below!

P.S. Many of our team will be traveling to/from San Diego between April 8-13. Please be patient if replies are slower during this time.

Friday, April 10th, 1:30-2:15 PM

Who doesn’t love a pre-ship sample cupping? We all know WOC falls right before fresh-crop African coffees land, so let’s cup them.

RSVP now, and get yourself over to room 33 (upper level) at 1:30 pm on Friday, April 10th, to taste through a roster of coffees we’re stoked about. We’ll be getting an early look at some delicious microlots from Kenya and Ethiopia.

Friday, April 10th, 6:00-10:00 PM

Join us for a party to coast into WOC weekend. We’ll be hanging out on Friday, Apr 10, 2026, from 6-10 PM at Puesto at the Headquarters in Downtown San Diego.

RSVP for a night of margaritas, tacos, and good vibes. Keep it real and come chill with us!

Saturday, April 11th, 8:00-10:00 AM

Join us for the second year of SOURCE, a live podcast featuring some of our favorite cafe and roastery owners as they chat about hurdles, trials, successes, and how they keep going amidst the constant ups and downs of the coffee industry.

Kick off the busy day with some good coffee, conchas and parfaits for breakfast, and ample space to hang out and chat. We can’t wait to see you there!

Saturday, April 11th, 3:30-4:15 PM

Want an exclusive taste of some of this season’s freshest coffees from Central and South America?

RSVP now, and get yourself over to room 33 (upper level) by 3:30 pm on Saturday, April 11th, to taste through a roster of coffees we’re stoked about.

We’ll be getting an early look at some microlots from Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Colombia.

Happening All Weekend

Legendary Coffee Exchange

Dive into WOC San Diego with the Legendary Coffee Exchange! Throw a bag of coffee into the pool and draw someone else’s coffee out. Take that coffee home to brew it up however you’d like and then connect with that roaster to discuss! What’s more legendary than exchanging coffee and making friends across the country?

To make it even more legendary, we’ve got a great prize from Fellow for this year’s exchange! One lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a Fellow Espresso Series 1.

Expo’s Greatest Scavenger Hunt

Drop in on the second year of Expo’s Greatest Scavenger Hunt. Carve your way through the show floor searching for pins from 13 of our pals across the industry. The more pins you find, the more entries you’ll get for the chance to win some sweet prizes.

Up for the task? Get the full 411 below.

At The Booth

The Coffee Rose

Have you seen the news about our newest cupping protocol, The Coffee Rose? We’ll be demoing the application all weekend. Come by, taste coffees, and try out The Coffee Rose.

ED+U Online Academy

Our free six-part “Coffee Is” series has moved to a self-paced, certification-awarding academy. Grow your knowledge, or implement the classes into your company’s training program.

Enrollment is open now! Create an account, pre-order all six classes, and begin learning on April 10th!

Aside from Coffee Rose, we’ll have cool swag, guest brewers with beautiful coffees, and some of our staff hanging out. Swing by and say hi!
