Cupping is more than a ritual; it's a meticulous exploration of joy, passion, and discovery. Think of it as a scientific journey—a systematic investigation of the molecular dance within a cup of coffee. A methodical process that includes inspecting the beans, inhaling the aromas, savoring the diverse flavors, and examining the visual aspects of the coffee.
Why coffee professionals and enthusiasts appreciate cupping
Cupping is indispensable for coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike. For professionals, it's the ultimate tool for quality control, enabling a meticulous evaluation of beans according to the highest standards.

Where cupping takes place along the value chain
Professional cupping is an important process along the value chain in the coffee industry. From coffee farms to roasters and coffee shops, cupping sessions are held. These usually take place in locations without major distractions, so that cuppers can fully concentrate on what is essential: their senses.
Why enthusiasts appreciate cupping
For coffee enthusiasts who aren't professionals, cupping offers a unique and intense experience. It's a journey to discover the diversity of coffees, find personal preferences, and sharpen the senses to new dimensions. Unlike the occasional coffee drink, cupping allows you to distinguish subtle nuances between different coffee varieties and forge a deeper connection with your cherished beverage.
