SCAA consists of two chapters: the baristas Association (Barista Guild of America) and the Baker Association (Roasters Guild), both of which are made up of professional coffee practitioners. Members improve the quality of coffee in the industry through information exchange, skills training and cooperation. At the same time, the Coffee quality Association (CQI) is the public trust organization of SCAA and the largest coffee training and technical assistance provider in the coffee industry.

The authentication of SCAA is highly authoritative. There are only three coffee quality evaluation judges (Certified SCAA Cupping Judges) certified by SCAA authority, all from the United States. At present, there are 521 coffee quality rating baristas (Licensed Q Graders) licensed by SCAA in the world, from 18 countries, of which Colombia has the most, 161, and the country in Asia is Japan, which has 60. So far, China has the first Licensed Q grader in mainland China named Lu Jie, serving in Beijing. At the same time, SCAA also provides various certifications for coffee practitioners and coffee enterprises around the world, including:

American baristas Association Certification course (Barista Guild of America Certification)
