| Sweet Maria's Cupping Log v 3.0 |
 This is a log of Thompson's
cursory screening of incoming samples ... |
|
|
|
|
| This is a log of incoming
samples here at Sweet Maria's with only the total score recorded and a Y or N
for further evaluation. Scroll to the bottom to see the most recent cupping
notes. This a pre-screening process, with my personal cursory comments. I often
go back and cup a sample that I give an N to after rethinking it. After I
reroast and recup a Y sample, then we try to actually get the coffee which
does't always work out ... or the opposite happens: a sample is great and
then the coffee arrives and it is not, so we reject it. This can happen alot!
A favorable entry in the cupping log does not necessarily that the coffee is
about to arrive. It could be months away. After we actually receive a coffee,
then I pull another sample, roast it several times, and cup it with a new
scoring sheet and write the full review. The idea here is to give an
impression of the work we do ... this is not a preview list of things you
will see on our actual offering sheet. Note: The original Cupping log was
corrupted somehow (the spreadsheet I work from. So after a few months of not
recording new entries (well, I do them on paper, then type them in) I decided
to reformat and create a new spreadsheet from scratch. Here is the new one
below... |
