Bangkok, Thailand – The vibrant coffee capital of Southeast Asia will play host to the highly anticipated World of Coffee Bangkok 2026 in May, and Kaleido Roasters will be right in the heart of the action.

As a premier international destination for coffee professionals and enthusiasts worldwide, this third edition of World of Coffee Asia promises to be a landmark gathering. Organized by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and hosted by the Barista Association of Thailand, this marks the first time the event will be held in the country. With over 400 leading companies from more than 40 countries taking part, the show floor will be bustling with the latest in green beans, roasting tech, and brewing gear.

Beyond the main exhibition, the event is packed with unique zones and competitions:

World Cup Tasters Championship: For the first time in Thailand, this global competition will challenge professional cuppers to identify coffee flavors with speed and accuracy. Thai competitors include 2025 world champion Chatchalerm Lertanekwattana and national champ Punnapop Suwanjit.

Roaster Village: Featuring renowned roasters from around the world—including GLITCH TOKYO (Japan), MOMOS COFFEE (South Korea), and MAME Roastery (Switzerland)—this zone is a live showcase of the latest roasting and brewing trends.

Producer Village: A dedicated space designed to create direct connections between coffee farmers and buyers.

Cupping Rooms: A tasting zone for sampling new and diverse coffee varieties from across the globe.

SCA Lecture Series: An educational stage where industry experts share actionable knowledge and insights.

SCA Community Lounge: A networking hub for professionals and enthusiasts to exchange ideas and build connections.

Brew Bar: A specialty coffee station where attendees can enjoy exceptional brews prepared by world champions using diverse techniques.

A Showcase of the Full Sniper Lineup

Attendees will be treated to live demonstrations of our entire electric roasting range. From the ultra-portable M1 Lite to the high-production M30, visitors will witness how our carbon fiber infrared heating technology delivers exceptional thermal efficiency without the need for gas lines.

Models on display include:

M1 Lite / M1 Sniper – Perfect for sample roasting (50–200g)

M2 Lite / M2 Sniper – Ideal for home roasters and nano cafes (100–400g)

M6 & M10 Sniper – The sweet spot for small commercial roasters (300–1200g)

M30 – Heavy-duty production for growing brands (1000–3000g)

Three Key Highlights You Can Expect

1. The 20% Show Special
To celebrate our Bangkok debut, we will offer 20% OFF all models exclusively to show attendees. We expect an overwhelming response, with multiple units already generating interest from cafes across Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

2. Artisan Software in Action
Visitors will be particularly impressed by our dual-software capability. The built-in touchscreen offers intuitive control, but connecting to Artisan via Bluetooth unlocks pro-level logging and repeatability — a feature rarely found at this price point.

3. Clean, Quiet, Consistent
The biggest question? “Does electric really match gas?” After watching back-to-back roasts of a Thailand anaerobic natural, the consensus will be clear: the patent mesh drum and infrared bean temperature sensor deliver stunning clarity, body, and repeatability without the ventilation headaches of gas roasters.

What the Kaleido Team Is Saying

“Bangkok in May will be everything we hope for and more. The moment we fire up the M10, people just gather. No presentation needed — the roaster sells itself. We’re printing extra business cards just in case.”
— Tommy, Sales Manager, Kaleido Roasters

“My favorite moment will be watching a cafe owner from Chiang Mai walk in skeptical about electric roasting and leave with a pre-order for the M30. He’ll say, ‘I didn’t think electric could hit those curves.’ Then he’ll watch us do it three times in a row. That’s proof, not promises.”
— May, Lead Roasting Specialist

“The home roasting community in Bangkok shows up in a big way. So many people come specifically to see the M2 Lite. They already know Artisan. They already understand profiles. They just need the right machine. It feels like talking to old friends.”
— Jasmine, Customer Success & Community Lead

“One attendee told me she has been saving for two years to start her own micro-roastery. She’ll touch the M6, watch a full roast, and just say, ‘This is it.’ Those are the moments that remind me why I love this job.”
— Tommy, Sales Manager

“Coffee is about people. The roaster is just the tool. But at this show, I’ll watch that tool connect farmers, cafe owners, and home roasters in one conversation. That’s the Kaleido difference — we build bridges, not just machines.”
— Ivy, Customer Support

What Attendees Are Saying (Anticipated)

“I’ve been looking for a roaster that fits inside my small cafe without installing gas lines. The M1 Lite is perfect — and the price with the show discount will seal the deal.”
— Somchai, Bangkok-based cafe owner

“The Artisan integration is seamless. For a commercial roaster under $3,500, the M10 is incredible value.”
— Maya, roastery consultant from Singapore

Looking Ahead to May

World of Coffee Bangkok 2026 in May will be more than just a trade show — it will be a confirmation that electric precision roasting is ready for prime time in Southeast Asia. We will leave Bangkok with new friends, new distributors, and a renewed commitment to helping roasters of all sizes achieve precision, consistency, and simplicity.

“This is just the beginning,” adds Tommy. “We’re also planning something special for World of Coffee Taipei. Stay tuned.”
