Yesterday Myles and Neo and I followed Ben to his coffee lab. We did our best to destroy his lab and his coffee cupping notes, but we also managed to shoot a little. If you ever wondered what coffee cupping looks like… well, lets be real, you probably never have. But, we made a video for you anyways!
Cupping is done to assess the quality of the coffee. The more good lots Ben finds, the better the price he can get for the farmers who produced it.
Here are the steps to a proper cupping….
a. husk
b. roast
c. grind
d. smell
e. brew
f. break the crust
g. smell
h. slurp
i. spit
j. take notes
Do that for 21 lots of coffee (five cups for each lot) a day and you might be able to keep up with our Coffee Guy.
