What is Cupping?
成日聽到d咖啡師講Cupping，到底cupping係咩黎嘅呢（唔係拔罐呀。。。😜）？ Cupping, 即係杯測，係一個容許咖啡師係相對短時間裡面，品評唔同咖啡豆嘅風味同埋質素。杯測嘅設定非常簡單，唔需要複雜嘅沖煮工具同埋既技巧，只係需要將咖啡用熱水浸泡幾分鐘，咖啡師用一隻匙羹，用啜吸嘅方式，就可以響短時間裡面品嚐好多款嘅咖啡豆。一般黎講，咖啡師或者烘豆師想搵新嘅咖啡豆，又或者為自己嘅咖啡做品質管理同校正，都會用到杯測呢個辦法嘅。
如果有機會，你又會唔會想試下杯測呢？
We often hear the term Cupping amongst baristas, what is Cupping anyways (no, not the chinese medicinal treatment procedure btw….😜). Cupping is basically a system that allows baristas and roasters to taste and evaluate a relatively large number of coffees in a short period of time. All we need is for coffee to be immersed in hot water for a few minutes, then with a spoon and lots of slurping, roasters and baristas will determine the flavour profile and the quality of the coffee. This exercise is particularly useful when we need to pick out new coffees to add to our offerings or to perform quality control and calibration for our own roasts.
If given the chance, would you like to give cupping a try?
