What kind of occasions need coffee tasting cup testing?

Tasting cup test (Cupping or Cup Testing)! I believe that coffee lovers will more or less have heard of this term. Any occasion that requires cup testing can be divided into three categories: coffee farmers or traders for coffee raw bean grade testing, roasters for roasting coffee, and bar players for coffee brewing. Do ordinary people need a cup test, of course, because when we taste a cup of coffee, what do we drink into the coffee cup? Is the aroma, taste and flavor of coffee what we really want? Like the so-called "Taiwan coffee" which is not sour, bitter and slightly sweet, is it really good coffee? At the same time, is the price of roasted beans really proportional to the price of good coffee? It is often very complex and subtle. I can only say that "fresh" baked beans are more important. At the same time, what is the fashion so-called "Specialty Coffee"? Is it very expensive and very few manor beans with special flavor? This is a bit too narrow-minded, the important thing is how do we know the real flavor of this cup of coffee, even the cheapest Brazilian beans have its taste, so it really determines the influencing factors of a good cup of coffee. I divided it into the following four items and their degree of influence:

one. 40% of the flavor in the producing area of raw coffee beans

two. 30% control of roasting degree of coffee beans

three. Preservation of fresh baked beans 20%

four. Brewing method 10%

Therefore, when we taste a cup of coffee, we can understand the coffee characteristics of this cup of coffee in aroma, taste, flavor and so on, and we can find out your favorite cup of coffee. Of course, professional cup testing has the so-called certain roasting degree of coffee and cup brewing and cup testing process, if ordinary people taste coffee to use this cup test method to find good coffee, then you will be disappointed. This is the professional coffee cup test of the three occasions, ordinary people taste coffee, can also understand the characteristics of coffee from the cup test process, cup test is simple and simple, difficult to say is also difficult, but as long as keep a normal mind to look at it, do not let drinking coffee become a painful thing, cup testing for us is through this process to show the taste I feel in the way of data score So that you can understand the characteristics of coffee beans, but also through the cup test to let you know more about the taste of coffee beans, choose your favorite coffee beans.
