For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Coffee is the largest drink in the world. It is estimated that the global coffee consumption in 2015 / 16 is about 147.6 million bags (147.6 million bags, 60 kg / bag), an increase of nearly 2 million bags over the previous year, and in the emerging coffee consumption market, the fastest growth is in China: baristas, cup tests, roasting competitions, raw bean races emerge one after another, vigorous, cafes are springing up everywhere, and boutique coffee (specialty coffee) is a leaping development. The most expensive and cherished coffee in the world can be drunk in China, and the price of a single cup of coffee is higher than that of other countries. Drinking coffee is not only a necessity for many coffee lovers, but also a fashion. Therefore, if you still stay on the basis of "drinking" coffee, it is too low. You must understand the "technical terms" used in coffee cup testing to help you "taste" coffee in order to improve your pressure.

First of all, you need to understand what the coffee cup test is (click on the coffee cup test). Secondly, you need to refer to read the coffee cup test terminology. Finally, of course, what you need is the TASTIFY coffee cup test mobile client application. (sorry to abbreviate "promotion force" to "promotion".

). The weapon, which won the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) Best New Product Award for 2015, is available in both computer and mobile phone (ipad) versions, and is currently available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It seems that it will be difficult for you to show off if you don't know how to order a foreign language these days.

We know that the cup test results according to the SCAA coffee cup test procedures are recorded on the paper "cup meter", but in reality, in addition to the formal cup test activities, we do not carry the paper cup meter with us, so it is neither convenient nor difficult to go shopping. With the latest TASTIFY coffee cup test app, it's completely different. After opening the software on the mobile client (smartphone), the data obtained from the cup test according to the cup test procedure (there are ten scoring items on the SCAA cup test table) will be input into the software. After analyzing the data, the software will generate cup test results in three forms of visual presentation: flavor wheel, spider chart and vocabulary cloud.

Flavor wheel:

Flavor wheel (upper left corner), spider picture (lower left corner), vocabulary cloud (right side):

These cup test results can be stored on mobile clients and transmitted to others through social media for communication. Come to think of it, if you use TASTIFY to generate a flavor wheel or spider map at any time while shopping for coffee, and share your comments on the coffee you drink with the coffee shop owner, it must be cool and compelling. Of course, anything can happen or not, and people may kick you out (get out! )

. In fact, of course, this software is not designed to make you cool or forced. It is most useful for coffee producers and buyers, especially for Q-Graders, because it makes it easy for people to evaluate the same coffee in a unified language across time and space. The coffee raw bean merchant is its real user (source: http://sprudge.com/).

The TASTIFY coffee cup test application software is launched by Sustainable Harvest Company in the United States. You may have noticed that in recent years, almost all of the new equipment, software and other innovative products in the coffee industry have been launched by American companies, which is understandable. After all, the United States is the largest coffee consumer market in the world. However, coffee consumption in the United States is expected to fall from 24 million bags to 23.7 million bags (60 kg / bag) in 2015 / 16, the first decline in coffee consumption in the United States since 2009 / 10. The United States has also become the only country among the world's top 8 coffee consumers to decline, while global coffee consumption is expected to grow to 47.6 million bags (60 kg / bag) in 2015 / 16.

Finally, if you are really interested in improving the coffee trap, you need to know 36 "coffee bottles" and the corresponding four charts "aroma perception Art in Coffee" (The Art of Aroma Perception in Coffee). Smell the bottle often and write it down against the chart, and your coffee bar will really improve.
