When to cup coffee
primitive	#1 Posted on 01/27/2014 8:59 PM

Can it be done right after roasting or do you have to wait a specific amount of time to allow the beans to set up? ?Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can - there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.?

Why not cup the same coffee multiple times though? That would help you appreciate/understand how the flavor changes with time. Aaron "Grind it like it did you some great injustice!"D.L.Clark

If I cup and I do on a fairly regular with a couple of friends who live near one who does not roast but has a nose and taste buds to be a professional cupper. We do it right after a roast; I always have a cafe crema after every roast regardless of cupping or not. We will also do it a few days ,two to four, after with that roast just to see the difference. I do not believe my personal cupping skills would put me anywhere near a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Aaron is correct that cupping through several days really shows you the flavors of a given roast. Cupping is a great thing to do and your level of skill does grow the more you cup. I do not believe my personal cupping skills would put me anywhere near a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 however... Enjoy and post here after you do some cupping. It is great to see some interest in cupping your roasts and others will most likely join in if you continue to post. Thanks again for the post, ginny Edited by ginny on 01/28/2014 6:20 AM

I have watched vids and read many an article about cupping but never saw anything about when, it's good to have a place where we can ask a question and get feedback. ?Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can - there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.?

1/2 Pounder Posts: 228 Joined: September 29, 2013	Another thing to consider when cupping is to cup two (or more) coffees at the same time, that really gives you perspective on flavors. Aaron "Grind it like it did you some great injustice!"D.L.Clark

When he was asked how long he rests his coffee after roasting in his drum, he said that he thought it tasted best within an hour of compeleting the roast and again after a week. He said that after the first day the coffee "sulks" for several days before coming across with its best flavor. The harder/denser the bean, the longer the wait time. Also, the darker the roast, the less time to the best taste. I think it's true, but as always, YMMV.
