How to evaluate whether the coffee is good or not? What are the scoring criteria for coffee? what are the cup test criteria?

I have not been able to find public comments for a long time, and I can't help but click open. As expected! There's a new face.

"Hey, did you go to that new place? Is it good?"

Some friends may think,"Judge a cup of coffee is good to drink the standard, probably in front of this cup of coffee, you drink the first mouthful, feel the taste is good, and there is a desire to continue to drink, that is, on behalf of this cup of coffee is" good to drink "coffee!"

We all have our own taste memory, and we all have different definitions of "yummy" and "yummy."

Maybe you drink a lot of coffee, but maybe you still don't have a concept of "coffee taste."

So~ there is a problem, believe you as a coffee lover! How to judge whether a cup of coffee tastes good?

Friends, calm down ~ we might as well understand this problem ~

The first is the authority's "good coffee" standard. We all know that cup testing is the most direct way to judge whether coffee beans are good to drink.

The following is the coffee cup scale of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), the most authoritative organization of the coffee association.

I'm an SCA scorecard that doesn't fit the screen width of the phone.

There are many different evaluation items (10 in total) in the table, and the raters can rate the coffee beans according to the coffee flavor they taste.

They are:

Aroma (dry/wet)

flavor

Yu Yun

sour

mellow

consistency

equilibrium degree

cleanliness

sweetness

overall evaluation

Ahem, steady, please allow me to finish sharing.

SCA's definition of coffee "delicious"(excerpt)"After drinking coffee, acidity, sweetness and body are balanced and distinctive, and have a round and smooth taste;

In terms of flavor, it has a pleasant taste, and there is no extra miscellaneous taste and musty taste; when the coffee is drunk, the aftertaste in the mouth is long-lasting and distinctive, and it can make people's mouth and nose linger."

However, although there are a series of clear standards for big shots, from the consumer's point of view,"good drink" is no standard.

Some people like to drink Blue Mountain and feel mellow; some people like to drink Kenya and feel that the acidity is just right; some people like to drink Brazil and feel balanced.

Just like some people like to drink instant, some people like to drink star dad, some people like to drink lucky.

After all, coffee is just a drink. It tastes good when you like it.

"Keep it simple, keep your way of speaking simple..." At this time, a song came from the headphones (

If you ask me,"How was the coffee?" Then I should say,"I'm in a good mood today. Everything tastes good. Hehe."
