During February 2025, members of the Nucleus Coffee Tools team will undertake a tour through a number of Middle Eastern countries, participating in key coffee events and hosting a number of workshops.

Throughout this tour, we’ll be sharing education and updates for a number of our innovations, including the LINK sample roaster, Paragon brewers and the soon-to-be-released NCD Pulse.

In the first stop, Qatar, several members of our team will provide a closed workshop on the LINK roaster and advancing technologies in sample roasting.

Following this, our team travels to Kuwait, where we will host four separate events on the LINK sample roaster, coffee roasting workshops, the launch of our new distribution tool NCD Pulse, and provide a green-to-cup experience with live roasting and brewing.

In the United Arab Emirates, we will participate in a series of events – including a green-to-cup experience and roasting workshop, both with special guests – before heading to the World of Coffee Dubai expo, where we will provide demonstrations, talks and interactions with special guests.
