Why Become A Member?

Being part of the SCA community gives you and your business a huge advantage. Here are a few of the main reasons members say they find value in being a part of our community:

Join a community

Events, exhibitions, and cuppings are just some of the networking opportunities we offer to our members at both the global and local levels. Through membership, you will gain access to a global community of people just like you who love coffee and are passionate about the industry.
