For the 6th consecutive year, AVEK ZAPPEION 2026 filled our cups with coffee and our thoughts with the new trends that will define the future of the industry! Four days full of aromas, flavors and notes of freshly ground coffee. 

From February 13 to 16, professionals and coffee lovers flooded the Zappeion Megaron, with smiles and a mood for discussion and knowledge, about tomorrow in the world of coffee.

Qualita Unica: The new statement in the coffee worldQualita Unica: The new statement in the coffee world
Interest, of course, was piqued by the grand launch of the new brand Qualita Unica, with three different blends. Made in the state-of-the-art ABEK factory, in Lagadas, Thessaloniki, this pioneering approach to roasted espresso was the ultimate experience for those who had the opportunity to enjoy it.

When coffee meets… fine dining
ABEK raised the bar, connecting coffee with fine dining, high-end confectionery and new snack trends. Visitors tasted live creations by world-renowned chef Salvatore De Riso, impressive presentations by the chef of The Zillers Pastry Bar and got to know the new gourmet snack proposals of Provil.

Education that… awakens the senses
The seminars – workshops were not just information. They were personal experience, inspiration and know-how, for those who want to take their knowledge to the next level. From taste and aromas to techniques and creativity, each workshop was a small “storehouse of ideas”.
