Next time you invite a friend or three to coffee, take a break from your regular coffee routine and try something new and exciting: host a coffee cupping. Coffee cuppings are essentially coffee tastings.
That would be a tasting event, but not cupping specifically. For coffee cupping, we brew small amounts of coffee using a cup or bowl, coarsely ground coffee, and hot water. There’s no filter and no fancy device – just the coffee, immersion brewing in a cup.
Also, prepare a cup of warm water to rinse your spoons in between coffees, as well as cold water to sip on during the cupping (this helps refresh your palate between sips). Find a few 4 to 6oz cups or bowls. These small vessels give us a way to perform the cupping without having to brew a lot of coffee.
Gather a spoon for every one of your friends and a timer for each coffee sample. The last thing you need is a coffee scoring sheet that you can use to take notes on. Any pen and paper will do, but a dedicated coffee scoring sheet will help you process what you’re experiencing.
