  • Coffee cuppings and tastings have gained some mainstream popularity lately, so in this video I'll show you how to increase your coffee tasting skills by using a coffee tasting technique called triangulations. Its a great way to become a better taster, but also put some of that left over coffee to good use.

    Great and in depth video! I think coffee cupping is a lovely way to develop our taste for different tasting notes and just having fun :) I usually save a little bit of my coffee after I finish each bag and freeze it down. Then when I have enough different coffees I make a cupping.

      That’s a great way to do it! Thanks for watching and the kind words!

    Just wanted to point out the SCAA recommended cupping grind of 70-75% coffee passing through a US #20 mesh sieve is actually is actually finer than a medium 900 micron grind would be. Say the C40 at 23 clicks would only let 60% pass through the sieve so maybe 20 or 19 clicks on a C40 to get to cupping grind. That’s definitely on the way finer end of medium.
    This matches up with what roasters in my area do for cupping grind (finer than one cup V60) so it seems the SCAA might have some confusion as to what “coarser than paper filter drip brewing” is

      Yeah there is no real way for everyone to get completely in line with the rules they out forward, but definitely some extra direction on grind would be a key component. It shouldn’t be all that complicated,

    Awesome video, great topic. My first cupping was acutally this year with James Hoffmann. I loved it, discovering these coffeenotes! It was so awesome and i freezed some coffee to do another one by myself. I planned to make a video on that, too! This should have more attention for homebaristas ! :-)

    • @Sprometheus
      @Sprometheus  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks! It’s definitely something any home barista or even coffee lover should try out. Can be a lot of fun.

    I’ve been bragging for years about being a “coffee snob” but today I feel like someone who was enjoying a big beautiful cavern when suddenly two spelunkers (Prometheus and James) craw out of a hole and invite into another room that contains the most wonderful formations of any cave in the world! My poor budget might not survive this adventure but I can’t stop now.

    First of all, thank you for another great and informative video!
    I have a question though, is cupping really that useful for an espresso drinker?
    I noticed the flavours you get from cupping can be quite different from what you get after brewing an espresso.
    And that seems to be in line with the idea that different coffees might taste better with different brew methods.
    So, to me it seems that cupping is a good method for choosing a coffee for a French-press more than any other brewing method.
    Am I talking nonsense?
    Happy to be wrong and learn something new 😉

    oh fancy cupping cups... I use the IKEA Stelna cups less than 80 cents per cup! Stacks, plus easy to wash and I use them for when too many un-welcomed people come visit no point handing them the good cups.
    Also side tip, I pour all cupping coffee into a CHEMEX instead of a strainer, cus I am not wasting drinkable coffee, helps clean it up. Once you move out the strained coffee. Spoon off the grounds from the cupping cups and swirl some water and pour it back into the Chemex should make your cleanup even easier less grounds in the sink.

    Is it useful to utilize a coffee flavor tasting wheel in this process?

      It can be in some circumstances. Personally I like to do it without as I find the wheel to be a bit suggestive.

      Depends on what kind of experience and budget you have. For me, I have super limited space and but love the raw experience of a drum roaster, so I use The Hive. It’s small, easy, and a lot of fun to use. It can be addicting.
