FamilyMart showcases new coffee technology at SCAJ 2026

FamilyMart participated in the SCAJ World Specialty Coffee Conference and Exhibition 2026, hosting a media talk session to discuss the future of coffee and the company’s recent product developments. The session featured World Brewers Cup winner Tetsu Kasuya, who supervised the development of the ‘Premium Mocha’ line.

FamilyMart has completed the nationwide rollout of new coffee machines as of June 2026. These machines feature a first-of-its-kind adjustable grinder for the convenience store industry, allowing for nine different grind settings to optimize flavor profiles such as ‘rich’ or ‘light’. The machines also utilize an improved water pouring method to ensure uniform extraction.

The company expects FAMIMA CAFÉ sales to increase by approximately 120% compared to 2024. This growth is attributed to the success of the ‘Premium Mocha’, which uses 100% high-grade Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans and has reached 1.5 million cups sold since its July launch.
