Cupping

Cupping is the most important aspect of coffee tasting for professionals, be it in a roastery, at Origin, or in tastings. Here, we will teach you how to do it at home so you can taste a few coffees all at once. Choose three of your favorite beans to compare.

Weigh out <quantity>33<unit>g</unit></quantity> total of <quantity>3</quantity> different coffee beans

Grind the beans separately to a medium-fine powder

Place each type of coffee into separate cups

Smell them in an attempt to tell the difference between them

Pour <quantity>185<unit>ml</unit></quantity> of hot water in each cup

Gently push the grounds to the bottom of the cup while smelling the aroma of the coffee. Rinse the spoon in fresh water between cups

Skim the foam off with spoons. Rinse the spoons between cups. Allow the coffee to rest for 10m to allow the grinds to settle

Slurp the coffee to get all the different aspects of it. Spit it out into a container if you'd like to avoid a coffee buzz.
