The Specialty Coffee Association has announced the winners of the 2026 Best New Product competition, held at the World of Coffee San Diego trade show — one of the specialty coffee industry’s most important global events.
The awards recognized innovation across several categories: in accessories, and also winning the People’s Choice vote, was the Satellite Coffee Guard by Squeaky; in consumer coffee preparation and serving, the award went to the VS4 by Varia; the commercial preparation and serving category was won by the mobile OnePress Café system, developed by Solrisen; and in specialty coffee consumables, the trophy went to APAX LAB KONFLUX by Slow Pour Supply.
The event also included the Coffee Design Awards, which separately recognized packaging and café space design. This year’s edition drew record attendance, confirming the industry’s growing appetite for equipment and accessories built for premium coffee.
