  • Taste and Aroma : We conduct a thorough examination of the taste and aroma characteristics of your coffee sample. This helps us identify its notes, nuances, and complexity of flavor, as well as unlock its potential.
  • Acidity : We analyze the acidity of your coffee sample. This parameter affects the perception of freshness and brightness of your beverage.
  • Coffee Body : We evaluate the body of your coffee - its density and mouthfeel. This allows us to determine the structure and richness of your drink.
  • Balance : We examine the balance between acidity, sweetness, and bitterness in your coffee. A well-balanced coffee exhibits a harmonious taste and pleasant aftertaste.
  • Aftertaste Purity : We pay attention to the purity and duration of the aftertaste of your coffee. This helps determine how long its taste characteristics linger after a sip.
  • Defects : We also identify and evaluate the presence of defects in your coffee sample. This helps determine its quality and standard according to SCA requirements.
  • Sample : Please provide us with 150g of roasted coffee for cupping. This will allow us to have an adequate amount of sample for the process.
  • Encoded Sample : To ensure objectivity and impartiality in evaluation, please provide a sample that is encoded and does not contain information about its origin or supplier. This allows us to focus solely on its taste characteristics.
  • Coffee Region of Origin : Specify the region where your coffee sample originates. This information will help us better understand its geographical characteristics and potential influence on its taste and aroma.
  • Roast Filter : Make sure the coffee sample has been roasted no more than 7 days ago. This allows us to assess its freshness and preserved taste qualities.
