About

The Coffee Science Foundation (CSF) is a support organization of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) that serves as the research arm of the SCA. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of coffee and securing its future through research, knowledge-building, and outreach.
The CSF is a unifying force that drives collaborative, pre-competitive, and scientifically rigorous research that benefits the entire coffee community, including the coffee-consuming public. The results of CSF-managed projects are then disseminated to the global coffee community at events, through publications, and coffee education programs.

To facilitate the SCA and Coffee Science Foundation's continued research and development of the Coffee Value Assessment, the SCA is proud to launch an official Patrons Program for SCA member companies and organizations to engage with this meaningful work and support the further refinement and development of the system. For a low donation amount, a participating company or organization will receive two years continued acknowledgement of Patron status, plus a whole host of other exclusive benefits.
