The Movement

More than an event —
a ritual that continues.

For three days in August, Iulius Parc turned into a village of craft, creativity and togetherness — mornings that started with purpose and golden hours that tasted like espresso and fresh air.

Thousands of you came: baristas, home brewers, families out for a lakeside stroll, dogs included. Thank you for filling the park with good conversations and even better coffee.

We're already brewing the next edition. See you on 13—15 August 2027.

Looking back

2026 highlights

Everything that happened across one long, sun-soaked weekend in Cluj-Napoca.

01

Specialty Coffee Tastings

Cup after cup of discovery across Romania's best roasters — filter, espresso, cold brew and experimental fermentation lots.

02

Romanian & International Roasters

Visitors met the makers redefining the scene and tasted their latest harvests, straight from the source.

03

Roaster Village

The beating heart of the festival: sourcing talk, roast profiles, brewing tips and beans bought straight from the producers.

04

DJ Sets & Vibe

Jazzy mornings, chill house afternoons and golden-hour grooves — plus Beats & Beans at Meron Gallery.

05

Nuamos Cup

The head-to-head brewers throwdown ran all weekend, mystery coffee every round, judged by an international panel.

06

Ceramic Painting Workshop

A hands-on clay session with a local artisan — pieces painted and taken home between espresso breaks.

07

Latte Art Throwdown

Powered by Mølk Barista — 16 of Romania's sharpest baristas poured for the title in front of a live crowd.
