Celebrating Uganda’s coffee heritage

A student-run coffee community at Uganda Christian University, brewing great coffee, exploring new flavours, and growing a vibrant coffee culture in the country that grows it. Brew it. Taste it. Learn it. Open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM.

OUR STORY

The club began in April 2024, when officials from the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) visited the UCU Innovation Hub on 22 April and trained the first members. It was launched more broadly in June 2024.

We build togetherness and promote the education and appreciation of coffee in the university setting, giving students a platform to brew, host barista competitions and encourage coffee drinking among young people.

Mission

To promote Uganda’s rich coffee heritage through research, production, consumption and exportation, and to provide a collaborative space for students, faculty and coffee enthusiasts.

Vision

A vibrant coffee club that celebrates Uganda’s rich coffee heritage.

Join the UCU Coffee Club and discover the art of coffee! Connect with fellow coffee lovers, explore new flavours, learn brewing skills, and be part of a community growing Uganda’s coffee culture, one cup at a time.
