Why is the coffee grindability standard measured by the cup so important? What is the grinding degree of the standard cup?

Believe this question, as a coffee fan, you must have been curious for a long time! If we put the same roasted batch but different sizes of coffee into the cup test and grind the cup test, will it affect the cup test score of the coffee? The answer is in the article, so let's read on.

Before baking the beans, we will test the raw coffee beans that are ready to be put into the beans. In addition to picking out defective beans, it can be observed that some coffee beans are not the same size. At this time, I will pick out raw coffee beans that are too big (or too small). The appearance of beans is very important, but according to the new edition of Coffee Science published by teacher Han Huaizong, the size of coffee beans does not directly affect the scores of coffee cups.

In fact, there are two more important reasons that affect the coffee cup score:

Planting latitude

Planting height

For example, if the size of raw coffee beans is too large at low latitudes near the equator, it may lead to a lack of fragrance and become soft beans. However, if it is changed to a higher altitude of more than 1000 meters in the subtropics at latitudes from 15 to 24 degrees, there will be obvious sweet and sour fruit.

As a result, it can be introduced that the larger coffee raw beans come from the high altitude area, most of them are hard beans and the conditions are superior, which can become high-quality coffee.

The above is today's coffee classroom, I hope you will like it! I'll see you next time!
