Machine Certification

Certified Commercial Equipment Program

Professional-grade technology on stage and behind the bar

The SCA Certified Commercial Equipment Program currently includes testing for SCA Certified Espresso Machines, which meet the high-quality standards for professional-grade espresso machines, set by the World Coffee Championships’ rules and regulations.

The SCA Certified Espresso Machine mark is awarded to machines designed and engineered to give baristas quality and precision control over their brewing, whether they're on the competition stage or behind the bar serving customers. All SCA Certified Espresso Machines have met requirements based on proper temperature and pressure specifications, filter basket consistency, and standards for repeatability and reliability.

The Certified Commercial Equipment Program derives from World Coffee Competitions (WCC) Qualified Testing, a qualification for equipment used on our competition stages.
