Join us for our virtual class, Coffee Cupping 101! If you’d like to join the class without cupping on your own, you are completely welcome to do so. If you’d like to cup along with the class, please gather these supplies:
1. UMESHISO X TOMATO CUPPING NOTES FORM (download here)
2. THREE REGULAR KITCHEN SPOONS
3. TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF COFFEE. At least 25 grams of each. You can choose whatever coffees you’d like, or you can cup the same coffees as Julien. Julien will be cupping two delicious coffees from Mother Tongue Coffee:
4. FOUR SMALL CUPS OR MUGS. The cups should hold 5-7.5 ounces, and ideally all four cups should have the same capacity. If you don’t have this and need to purchase, we recommend :
5. THREE LARGER CUPS OR MUGS. They do not need to be the same size. Suggested capacity 12-16 ounces, but larger is fine.
6. ONE DIGITAL KITCHEN SCALE that can read grams. Scale should ideally have at least 0.10 resolution. If you don’t have this and need to purchase, we recommend:
7. ONE KETTLE. If you don’t have this and need to purchase, we recommend:
This is an optional list! If you’d rather join the class as a spectator only, that is completely okay. We look forward to sharing space at the cupping table with you.
