What Is The SCA Golden Cup Standard?
In 2012, Bonavita became one of the first brands to have its brewers certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), meeting the Golden Cup Standard for coffee quality. This milestone not only set the foundation for SCA Certification but also helped introduce the Golden Cup Standard to the public, making it a well-known term for exceptional home brewers. Since then, Bonavita has continued to design brewers that meet these universal standards for superior coffee, ensuring the perfect cup with every brew.
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) is a global organization that represents thousands of coffee professionals, from producers to baristas. It aims to elevate the coffee industry through inclusivity, education, and scientific research, which leads to the creation of high standards for coffee quality. The SCA’s rigorous approach to coffee quality has resulted in the Golden Cup Standard, a benchmark for exceptional coffee brewing.
