The SCAA was formed in 1982 by a small group of coffee professionals seeking a common forum to discuss issues and set quality standards for the specialty coffee trade. Today, we are the world's largest coffee trade association with more than 3,000 company members. Although most of our members are located in the United States, they are involved in coffee production, roasting and brewing all over the world. We are working to improve the quality of specialty coffee from "seed to cup" and to ensure that it will be available well into the next century.
