Contextualization: The specialty coffee market has increased in popularity due to its characteristics related to improvement and exclusivity in its sensory quality factors through different processes and determined actors. Through diverse processes and specific actors, it is aimed to guarantee excellence in each stage of the production chain of specialty coffees. It involves aspects such as the best temperature, altitude, and soil conditions selection, as well as the importance of harvesting, roasting, preparation, and enjoyment, which directly influences the quality experience.

Knowledge gap: In relation to the field of knowledge on coffee, the application of literature reviews is deficient, mainly through bibliometric analysis techniques. Additionally, there is no document addressing the topic of specialty coffees or exhaustively describing the different lines of research and indicators.

Purpose: This research aims to synthesize the academic literature related to the specialty coffee area through a bibliometric analysis. Hence, a historical search related to the field of knowledge is necessary to determine different indicators describing the current state of scientific production.

Methodology: 417 documents were collected from the Scopus database for review. Different indicators are built to describe the main topics concerning production, authors, journals, countries, and most cited articles. Additionally, bibliometric networks are built to identify trends. Finally, the future lines of research are described through a qualitative analysis.

Results and conclusions: Results reveal how the production and marketing context decisively influence research, especially considering that Brazil is the leading academic producer in this field. Through indicators and bibliometric networks, the lines of research that analyze the physicochemical components, the sensory quality of coffee, the market, and the consumption and governance of specialty coffees are recognized.
