THE CUPPING SCALE
What is Cupping?
Cupping is a crucial, standardized process used to evaluate the quality of coffee with precision and expertise. By carefully tasting brewed coffee, professionals can assess key sensory attributes including aroma, flavor, acidity, and body that define each coffee’s unique profile. This practice allows coffee producers, roasters, and buyers to maintain consistent quality, identify distinct characteristics, and make informed decisions about sourcing and blending. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or a professional in the industry, cupping is an indispensable tool to experience the full complexity and richness of every coffee batch, ensuring exceptional taste in every cup.
CUPPING SCORE SYSTEM
Cupping scores are measured on a 100-point scale, with higher numbers reflecting superior quality. To qualify as specialty coffee, a score of 80 or higher is required, highlighting its exceptional standard.
