The Chamber

Nr 01

HISTORY

The “Camera Arbitrale Italiana del Caffè” or CAIC (Italian Coffee Arbitration Chamber in english) was founded in Genoa in 1933.

After many years of inactivity, in 1978 the CAIC was refounded and its operations therefore ensure continuity with the original entity established 45 years earlier.

Until the end of the 1990s, several Arbitration Chambers dedicated to coffee existed in Europe, located in London, Paris, Le Havre, Hamburg, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Genoa.

Today, together with the London and Hamburg ones, the Genoa Chamber is one of the last three still operational in Europe.
