After the successful conclusion of the BOP Best Panama Competition last year, Mario Fernandea (Mario Fernandez, hereinafter referred to as Mario), Technical Officer of the SCA Fine Coffee Association, shared at a manor reception: "the SCA cup meter, as a standard widely used by the global coffee industry to measure the value of coffee, has not been updated for a long time. In the two decades since this form was invented, the coffee industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, and sensory science has been constantly developing and improving.
Nowadays, more and more people are asking for "sweetness" to be added to the SCA cup meter as one of the coffee sensory evaluation items (scoring items), and we also realize that it is time to change the sensory evaluation items in the table. "
The latest cup meter, SCA, also released a beta version in mid-April this year. The following is the English version of the latest SCA cup meter (BETA/ beta version) for 2023:
In sharing, Mario mentioned that when judging whether a cup of coffee is good or bad by the senses, there are three questions: can you tell the difference? What kind of taste can it taste? Do you like it personally? These three questions involve differential judgment, descriptive judgment, and emotional judgment.
In terms of sensory science, it is not recommended to confuse three different types of sensory assessments. But there is such a problem in the existing (old) SCA cup meter.
(SCA old cup meter)
In the old SCA cup meter, "Body alcohol thickness" and "Balance balance" use emotional judgment, while "uniformity consistency" uses differential judgment, and "Intensity overall strength" uses descriptive judgment.
In order to solve this problem, Mario said that descriptive words and some additional key questions will be added to the original cup table, through five omni-directional perspectives: raw bean grade, descriptive judgment (used to judge the flavor performance of coffee), emotional judgment (used to judge an individual's impression of coffee quality), external attributes, and discovery value, and then developed a new coffee value evaluation system.
The following is the Chinese translation of the latest SCA cup meter (beta version) in 2023:
Mario also said that with these spaced projects, favouritism caused by a mix of three types can be greatly reduced, and people will be able to know more clearly the judgments they make and give them fairer scores for each type of senses.

Although it has a long history of producing coffee like other East African countries, the quality of coffee has never been improved because of the war caused by ethnic antagonism. Good coffee is mostly grown in areas adjacent to Kenya.
