Talk:Coffee cupping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To-do list for Coffee cupping:

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Requests: How is the coffee brewed for cupping? Drip, press, espresso?

Preparation method depends on what you hope to get from a cupping - professional coffee buyers will generally prepare with at least two methods to see how the coffee tastes when prepared differently. If you're cupping to try and find a coffee you'd want to drink, you generally prepare it the way you would normally prepare it at home.

Personally when I'm cupping I prepare with french press because it keeps taste for a reasonable amount of time and tends to hold more flavours than drip brew. Espresso isn't a good idea for cupping because the shots lose flavour so quickly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.208.186 (talk) 23:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
