Einführung ins SCA Cupping Form
Back to overview

Introduction to the SCA Cupping Form

The course is aimed at participants who have acquired basic knowledge in tasting and who wish to use the SCA cupping form for green coffee tasting. The course gives an overview of the standardised procedure for tasting (cupping protocol) and awarding points according to the individual evaluation criteria. Participants learn how to distinguish between speciality coffee and non-speciality coffee.

We also recommend this course for professional level candidates for the CSP modules Green Coffee and Sensory Skills. The course does not substitute a Q-grader calibration course, but provides an introduction to working with the SCA cupping form.
