Korang yang kaki kopi, mark your calendar! The Selangor Coffee Festival (SelCoff 2025) is coming in hot this 17–19 October at The Curve, Petaling Jaya — and this time FriedChillies is teaming up with the best coffee minds from Malaysia and ASEAN to bring you an unforgettable coffee weekend.

This isn’t just another hipster coffee fest — it’s a full-blown caffeine carnival with baristas from across ASEAN, hands-on workshops, brew battles, and even a special spotlight on women in coffee. Whether you’re a serious coffee drinker, home brewer, or just love the smell of freshly ground beans brought to you by Otten Coffee, this is the place to be.

The 5 Great Experiences You Can’t Miss at SelCoff 2025

1. Watch the Best Baristas in ASEAN Battle It Out

The ASEAN Barista Showdown is where art meets adrenaline. Top talents from Indonesia, Cambodia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines will go head-to-head to brew their way to glory. Expect latte hearts, silky pours, and some serious showmanship from Malaysia’s finest too. Sunday, 10am – 4pm

2. Learn, Taste & Explore with Hands-On Coffee Workshops

Get up close and personal with the coffee craft. Join cupping sessions, manual brew showcases, and sensory exploration workshops run by Sekolah Kopi Malaysia and Aeropress workshops too. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Apa beza pour-over dengan aeropress ni sebenarnya? Saturday & Sunday

3. Discover ASEAN Coffee Flavours Under One Roof

Meet roasters and brewers from around the region — from Umar Coffee (Indonesia) and Eysan Coffee (Cambodia) to local heroes like CoffeeHub, Forever Coffee Roaster, and Rasta Brew & Co. You’ll taste beans that tell stories — bold, fruity, nutty, chocolatey — all in one buzzing space. All Weekend

4. Celebrate Women in Coffee — The ‘Women Kopi Talk’ Series

This year, FriedChillies is proud to support Women Kopi Talk, a series of intimate sharing sessions by incredible women shaping Malaysia’s coffee scene. Hear from roasters, café owners and baristas like Hamizah Hamzah (Let’s Coopi Roaster), Najmiah, Nina Razak, Shurqiag Umamah (Chi Fan Café), and Melati Hatta as they share their journey, challenges, and love for the bean. All Weekend — Don’t miss it!

5. Bring the Kids for Junior Barista Sessions!

Coffee isn’t just for adults (well, kind of :-)). The Junior Barista Workshop led by Faizal Azuri from Albatross Coffee lets kids try their hand at frothing, brewing, and learning what makes a good cup. Who knows — maybe your little one’s the next latte champion. RM150 only. Saturday & Sunday, 10am–12pm & 2pm–4pm.
