About this Project

The UC Davis Coffee Center supports the College of Engineering’s vision to bring together visitors, students and researchers from across the university and around the world in a dynamic and cutting-edge environment focused on coffee science.

This 7,000 square foot facility is being renovated to provide a location for pre- and post-harvest coffee science research including experimental green bean storage, a coffee pilot roastery, brewing laboratories, sensory and cupping laboratories, a chemical and analytical laboratory, as well as office and conferencing facilities. Outdoor site improvements include accessibility upgrades and a patio.

Upon completion, UC Davis will be home to the world’s first academic research and teaching facility entirely dedicated to the study of coffee!
