Sharing buttons:
hello roasty audience i'm Mayenne from
reilly coffee and today we're going to
be cupping a couple of different coffees
from the Marley coffee line yeah so I
guess the process is just going to be
we're going to grind these to a medium
coarse grind we're going to smell the
coffee and do our first kind of analysis
just based on aroma the second step to
cupping is then bringing your water to
the correct temperature that can be
anywhere from 199 to 205 degrees and
then you slowly pour the coffee over the
grounds and then you do a second
analysis of aroma so once we get a
couple seconds to smell how the coffee
changes when hot water has been poured
over it we're going to take these two
little spoons and kind of push the
grounds away from us then once you kind
of push the grounds away that's going to
give us another opportunity to analyze
the aroma coming off of the coffee but
then for the tasting analysis portion of
the cupping you're going to want to
scoop the majority of this crust that's
warmed on the top off into a separate
Bowl and so that'll allow you when you
go back and kind of cup you can just dip
your spoon and slurp away so then after
we do that we'll dip a little bit of our
spoon into the coffee and then we get to
do the super fun part which is taste the
coffee and then we'll do an analysis
based on the flavor profile that we get
when we swish the coffee around our top
I kind of like to when I'm tasting
coffees blind guess where the coffee is
coming from what level of roast the
roaster decided to apply to that try to
detect any impurities in the flavor and
then also just note what I really like
about them it's always good to to
continually taste the same coffee over
and over again just to see if you notice
different things over the course of
tasting over a period of time I know
some guys who sound like an eagle when
they're posting there's like it's like
the loudest most amazing noise ever
