Golden Standard Certified sign

A mark of quality
for Certified establishments.

Mark on the entrance, machine, and menu: the establishment works with a trained team, a calibrated machine, Golden Standard formulas, and defined hygiene. The guest sees this before ordering their first coffee.

What the mark means to the guest, the team, and the venue.

  • For the guest
    A clear promise of quality

    Every cup is connected to a trained team, a calibrated machine, and a controlled system.

  • For the team
    One standard through every shift

    Recipes, parameters and procedures are shared across the entire team, allowing new members to onboard faster without compromising quality.

  • For the establishment
    Recognisable signature in the space

    The standard behind the bar gains a visible identity and a story that the team can clearly and consistently convey to the guest.

What the mark confirms.

Calibrated setting

CAYE, FoaMaster, MilkPal or Lattiz are set up according to the menu, water, consumption system and workflow of the venue.

Trained team

At least two employees have completed the Academy: preparation, milk, service, and hygiene, at their own workstation.

Controlled products

Golden Standard barista formulas or Lattiz packaging, filtration and appropriate hygiene support the same expected result.

Visible responsibility

The venue publicly aligns its name with a defined quality standard — and agrees to maintain it.

How a venue obtains Certified status.
