Gold cup theory

Golden Cup is an activity directly promoted by the European Fine Coffee Association.

The golden cup provides a minimum standard for brewing filtered coffee, which includes: the proportion of water, brewing temperature and time.

SCAE Gold Cup is based on strict control and adequate and accurate scientific research data to ensure its best quality. According to many data, the quality of mug coffee depends on many factors, including the source of coffee beans, coffee roasting, coffee classification and so on. The aesthetics of extracting coffee beans and water into a cup of coffee is even more important, and just like the alchemy art of blending, the key is the balance of concentration and the correct way of coffee extraction. In order to promote such a high level of high-quality coffee, the European Fine Coffee Association has established the best proportion of brewed coffee through scientific research and strict checks.

From a scientific point of view, high-quality filtered coffee has many aspects, and the most important factors are as follows:

Temperature: the temperature and constant temperature of the water when brewing coffee.
