As of January 2017, the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), established in 1982, and the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE), established in 1998, have officially become one unified organisation the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) is a membership-based association built on foundations of openness, inclusivity, and the power of shared knowledge. From coffee farmers to baristas and roasters, our membership spans the globe, encompassing every element of the coffee value chain. SCA acts as a unifying force within the specialty coffee industry and works to make coffee better by raising standards worldwide through a collaborative and progressive approach. Dedicated to building an industry that is fair, sustainable, and nurturing for all, SCA draws on years of insights and inspiration from the specialty coffee community.
