Beginner's Guide to Setting Up a Coffee Cupping Tray
To set up a coffee cupping tray, start with the essentials: a clean, flat surface and a tray large enough to accommodate your cups. At Coffee Pro Direct, we recommend using our specialized coffee sample trays for this purpose. Begin by placing your cups in a line on the tray, leaving enough space between each one for easy access.
Next, prepare your coffee samples by grinding them to a uniform size and placing them in small, identical bowls or cups. Arrange these cups in a row next to your empty tasting cups. Provide hot water just off the boil for brewing. Pour a measured amount into each empty cup, ensuring consistency across all samples.
Finally, use a spoon to gently agitate the coffee and slurp each sample to fully experience its flavor profile. Take notes on aroma, taste, acidity, body, and aftertaste to compare and contrast each coffee. With your Coffee Pro Direct coffee cupping tray, you'll be well-equipped to explore the diverse world of coffee with precision and ease.
