The Associazione Caffè Speciali Certificati has undertaken the battle to defend the peculiarities typical of Italian Espresso and to obtain international recognition of specific tasting techniques. Anyone buying coffee for use as espresso should buy coffees classified for preparation “in espresso” and not for “in infusion” as instead has been the case to date. For this reason CSC in collaboration with LabEspresso have created a cupping form specifically for espresso.
As Technical Partner with Slow Food for the coffee Presidia, CSC is committed to realizing and developing the protection of “wild coffee” from the Harenna forest in Ethiopia, the true motherland of coffee and the only place in the world where you can find plants in a wild state. For thousands of years each family has roasted its berries, ground them in a mortar and offered coffee to guests following a solemn ritual involving symbolic displays of hospitality, friendship and respect.
A 14 anni dalla propria fondazione, CSC Associazione Caffè Speciali Certificati inaugura il 2011 presentando il nuovo logo, appositamente creato dallo studio grafico spagnolo Pati Nunez Associati, con sede a Barcellona. “L’ampliamento dell’associazione, con l’arrivo di importanti soci europei, ha reso necessario ripensare il nostro logo al fine di offrire un’immagine più moderna e attuale” spiega Enrico Meschini, presidente di CSC.
