SCAE+SCAA = Specialty Coffee Association
As of January 2017, the Specialty Coffee Association of America, established in 1982, and the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe, established in 1998, have officially become one organization. The unified organization, the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), has launched this website to house information around key activities, events, and offerings. This is meant to be a temporary site while we work on combining our resources and updating our materials. To visit the previous SCAA or SCAE websites, please click the links below:
