Specialty Coffee in Egypt: Exploring the third wave movement!
Here we are back again with another coffee article because we just love talking about coffee! However, this time we're exploring a different aspect: the third coffee movement or what is known as 'Speciality Coffee'!
Have you wondered what is specialty coffee? Or why do you hear this term a lot in Egypt nowadaysIf you have noticed recently in Egypt, there are a lot of coffee shops that opened offering specialty coffee! But what is it exactly?!
The specialty coffee scene is burgeoning in Egypt; Egyptian culture has always placed a high value on coffee, and there is a longstanding tradition of coffee brewing and consumption.
However, a new trend has emerged recently that is altering how Egyptians view and consume coffee, which is the third wave of coffee!
So, let us brew our way into discovering this movement!
What is specialty coffee?
Specialty coffee is a term used to describe high-quality coffee that is carefully grown, processed, roasted, and brewed to achieve the best possible flavor profile. Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity of this movement, especially in developed countries.
The origin of the coffee beans, the farming techniques used to grow the beans, and the roasting and brewing techniques used to extract the best flavor from the beans are all important factors in the specialty coffee industry.
In order to ensure the highest quality, specialty coffee beans are typically grown in designated areas with the best growing conditions.
A crucial step in the production of specialty coffee is roasting.
To bring out the best flavor characteristics of the beans, the roasting process is carefully regulated. The coffee is then brewed precisely to bring out all of its distinct flavors and aromas.

Exploring the third-wave movement!
The third-wave coffee movement, which emphasizes the value of premium coffee and artisanal coffee preparation techniques, is frequently linked to specialty coffee.
Third-wave coffee shops and roasters put the customer first by showcasing the distinctive qualities of various coffee beans and providing a variety of brewing techniques to suit various palates.
This movement is taking the world by storm by putting an emphasis on brewing coffee with artisanal skill, quality, and sustainability.
The third wave of coffee, in contrast to the first and second, which concentrated on convenience and mass production, is all about the art and science of coffee. It is a movement that is based on the notion that coffee is a craft rather than merely a commodity!
The third wave of coffee has been gaining momentum in Egypt over the past few years, with an increasing number of cafes and roasters emphasizing the use of premium beans and exact brewing techniques to produce outstanding coffee.
This movement has led to the rise of artisanal coffee shops throughout the country, committed to sourcing the best coffee beans from around the world and using traditional brewing methods to create the perfect cup of coffee.
As more customers demand and are willing to pay more for higher-quality coffee, this trend is likely to continue, further fueling the growth of the specialty coffee scene in Egypt.
What makes specialty coffee different from regular coffee?
As we mentioned above, specialty coffee is carefully crafted and made with premium, fresh and high-quality beans.
Apart from that, there is also an environmental factor to consider. Since specialty coffees are typically brewed from fresh grounds immediately after a customer places an order rather than using pre-packaged options, they tend to reduce production waste, which supports more sustainable practices generally.
On the contrary, regular coffees frequently come pre-ground and with additives like sugar or creamer already added to them before consumption. The unique flavor profile that comes with each batch of freshly brewed cups of specialty coffee can therefore be enjoyed, whereas regular coffee does not provide the same level of intense flavor.
So, one thing we can call this movement by, is brewing up a storm!
