Cupping (or cup-testing) is a method of tasting coffee that is used in the coffee industry. It is conducted all over the world according to uniform standards in compliance with special protocols. The main task of coffee cupping is to reveal the profile of coffee. To achieve that, coffee is brewed in a universal way: ground coffee beans are put in a glass, poured with hot water, and steeped undisturbed for four minutes. This method allows for the complete development of flavor and aroma characteristics.
Cuppings are held at all stages of coffee selection, from a farm to a coffee shop. It is also a great way to taste and compare several lots at once. Baristas attend cupping sessions to understand the potential of coffee beans and how to work better with a particular one. Beginners attend cuppings to analyze what they like or dislike in different lots and to understand which countries’ coffee they prefer.
