Posted: Thursday, February 18, 2010 by gleary

Cupping: A practice of systematically evaluating a coffee’s tastes and aromas using a standardized brewing method.

Saturdays are usually quiets days of rest for the roaster. This past Saturday, however, a lively group of about 12 from the First Presbyterian Coffee Club met for a Guatemalan Trapichitos cupping and Q&A with Gerry.

We did 3 roasts: medium, dark and then light (yes, in that order) and brewed with 2 coffee makers: flat and cone filter. Biscotti in 4 flavors was from Enjoy Biscotti and complemented our tiny cups of South American caffeine!

Here’s some pics from the event:
