CHICAGO, IL — From March 10 to March 12, Casabrews proudly participated in The Inspired Home Show (IHA) 2026, held at McCormick Place in Chicago. Over three exciting days, our team welcomed visitors from around the world to Booth #N8121, where espresso innovation, hands-on demonstrations, and meaningful conversations came together.
As one of the most influential housewares exhibitions in North America, the show brought together many brands, retailers, and distributors in a single place to discover the next generation of home living products.
For Casabrews, IHA 2026 was more than an exhibition—it was an opportunity to share our passion for coffee and connect with the global community that inspires our mission.
A Dedicated Team Bringing the Casabrews Experience to Chicago
Behind the scenes, a team of eight Casabrews members traveled to Chicago to represent the brand and bring our booth to life.
From preparing espresso shots to demonstrating product features and meeting with potential partners, the team worked tirelessly to ensure that every visitor can enjoy and learn more about our product.
Throughout the three-day show, our booth became a lively gathering place for coffee lovers, buyers, and industry professionals alike.

Live Coffee Tastings and Barista Moments
One of the highlights of the show was the constant aroma of freshly brewed espresso flowing through the booth.
Throughout the event, visitors enjoyed live coffee tastings prepared on Casabrews machines, allowing them to experience firsthand the rich flavors and crema that define a great espresso shot.
Our baristas brewed so many cups of espresso and milk-based drinks over the three days, sparking conversations with coffee enthusiasts who were eager to learn more about dialing in their perfect shot at home.
