Cupping Tools

If you are like many coffee drinkers, you have probably noted that there are different types of coffee tastes and aromas. Each type of coffee has different tastes and smells, some of which are used to determine their quality. That’s where the technique of coffee cupping becomes crucial in the coffee industry.

Although the technique is known to be executed by “Q Graders” you can also practice it for blending purposes if you are in the coffee brewing business. In fact, if you are running a café, this is one of the techniques that you need to perfect in order to ensure the survival of your business. It’s a technique that will help you to blend different types of coffee for a classic cup of speciality coffee.  But for you to do this, you need to have the right coffee cupping tools.

Coffee Cupping Tools

A coffee cupping kit is a pack of tools that are crucial in the process of evaluating coffee aroma and the flavour profile of a kind of coffee. It’s a must have for anyone operating a coffee shop or those operating a coffee business. Without the kit, it will be impossible to maintain or improve the quality standards of your coffee.

You don’t want to serve your customers with a horrible coffee just because you couldn’t tell the quality before brewing. That’s why you should continually cup your coffee to ensure that the quality and standard is maintained. Otherwise, your business might start to lose customers as the quality of the coffee starts to deteriorate.

But which tools should you have in your barista tool collection to help you cup coffee? Well, there are numerous types of tools that should feature in your coffee kit but we are going to mention the must-haves.

First, you need to have the cupping bowl. This is tools serves as the container in which the grounded coffee is put for when ready for the cupping process. If you are comparing different types of the coffee, you need to have some bowls for each type as well as the blends. It’s also important to note that you may need more than one person to get the right quality. Cupping glass also comes as the best alternative to the cupping bowl. You may also opt to use them alternatively.

The cupping spoon is the second tool that you should have in your coffee barista kit. There are numerous types of these spoons, but we would highly recommend silver plated or the stainless steel spoons, as they are the best quality. Lastly, you need to have the sample tray to complete your kit. The trays come in different types.

At Barista Warehouse, we have a broad range of products that will meet all your needs. If you feel that you need a more accurate taste and smell, then we would recommend that you go for highly specialised tools such as the digital scale, coffee grinder, water kettle and cupping forms.
