The cupper – the interpreter of taste ☕️
What can a coffee bean tell you before it reaches the roaster? A cupper knows how to find out.
Through standardized sensory analysis, the cupper evaluates its aromas, flavours, defects and organoleptic characteristics, uncovering valuable insights into its quality and potential. Trained according to international standards set by organizations such as the SCA and CQI, the cupper turns sensory perception into essential information for assessing coffee quality and guiding purchasing decisions.
