The Coffee Cup

We cup coffees to understand the basic taste of a crop, roast or bean as well as to achieve consistency of taste, quality or blend. Cupping allows for comparison of the same bean roasted lightly to a medium cinnamon or to a charcoal like Dark Roast. Cupping lets us understand various coffee forms sizes types and origins. You could chew beans as well to see other modalities but the assumption of a master roaster and a good bean leave the cup as the final answer.
