What is a coffee cup test? What is the cup test?

Just like tasting wine, we judge the sweetness and acidity, bitterness, aftertaste and aroma of coffee, as well as the quality of coffee.

"Cup coffee" is practically popular in coffee producing and producing countries, and it is the most direct way to deliver the unique flavor of coffee. A cup test should be carried out to determine whether or not to buy coffee and raw beans in the production area.

Cup method

Here is to introduce the "DISCOVERY cup test" for you.

(1) prepare props.

Coffee beans 10g x 3 cups

Prepare 2 coffee beans roasted before explosion. The FUJIROYAL coffee grinder and the R202 scale ⑥ were used for grinding. )

A glass or container of the same size x 3

Boiled water (100cc) × 3

Cup spoon

(spoons or spoons can be used instead if available.

Friends who know me think that the soup is very useful! )

Chronograph

Water cup for cleaning cup and testing key

Taste 3 cups of coffee with the same cup spoon. In order not to mix the coffee with each other, wash the coffee each time before using it. )

Cups for removing lye and spitting coffee liquid

(when testing the cup, put the coffee in your mouth, feel the fragrance, and then spit it into the cup. )

Why do you have to prepare 3 cups of the same coffee?

In the case of a cup of coffee, the coffee will not be divided as long as a defective bean is found in the noodles. Therefore, in order to correctly carry out the "cup cup", one kind of coffee should be prepared for three cups.

Let's start the Cup now!

(2) the fragrance of coffee powder in the cup.

(when coffee is divided into powder, it is called "DRY", and when boiling water is injected, it is called "CRUST". )

First of all, feel the fragrance of "DRY".

Put your hand on the mouth of the cup and shake it to get the fragrance of coffee.

(3) add 100cc water to each cup at 3 minutes on a chronograph.

Buy the "CRUST" incense in the middle of the schedule. Put your nose close to the coffee and slowly inhale the incense.

(4) after 3 minutes, remove the coffee from the cup noodles with a cup spoon.

In order to feel the aroma of the coffee, keep the nose close to the coffee, extend the cup spoon to the bottom of the cup and slowly stir up 3 times, break the coffee watch.

(5) remove the lye from the liquid surface of the cup spoon and the floating coffee bean granules.

(at this time, if there are too many floating coffee beans, they may be caught when inhaled, so get rid of them. )

(6) the liquid system should be picked up with a cup spoon, inhaled hard into the mouth so that it will disperse in the mouth and taste the sweetness, sour, bitterness, aftertaste, consistency and taste of the coffee, as well as the balance of taste.

It is easier to tell the taste than if it is scattered in the mouth.

The cup tester rests against the tooth in front of the lower row, slightly downward, and then inhale through the mouth.

Because inhaling hard may produce whistling sounds such as "whew" and so on.

(7) the taste should also be observed when it is slowly getting cold.

The characteristics of coffee can be seen more clearly with each degree of cold.

Be able to understand the taste of coffee,

To be able to inhale well,

The most important thing is to make a cup every day, to hold all kinds of flavors, and to make a cup.
