Product Overview
When cupping, you will want to taste 3-5 cups per coffee (to check for consistency), plus 1 cup for dipping your spoon in clean water between cups. Our cupping table trays make it easy to carry all of your cups between the table, grinder, cleaning area, etc. The spoon is a deep-bowl for proper slurping. The bean tray holds those beans so you can visually assess quality, and the tray's flexibility makes it easy to pour beans back into your storage bag. And yes, we've even thought of the perfect spit cup - the "long drop" enabled by this tall cup will reduce that unwanted splash back up (just don't let it get too full!).
We offer sets for 1 coffee, 6 coffees, 12 coffees, 24 coffees. The 24-set is meant for events or, as we do when we have a table going in our lab, having the next table of 6-10 coffee's all weighed out and ready to go next. If you're at home and only cupping 1 coffee at a time, then the one-er will do. If you're a big' ol roastery lab you might want to look at that 24-set!
Here's what we include in each Cupping Supply Set:
1-Coffee Set: 6 cups (5 for cupping, 1 for water), 1 table tray, 1 spoon, 1 spit cup, 1 bean tray
6-Coffee Set: 36 cups, 6 table trays, 4 spoons, 4 spit cups, 6 bean trays

24-Coffee Set: 144 cups, 24 table trays, 8 spoons, 8 spit cups, 24 bean trays
In addition to the above, you'll need access to a good grinder, rags or paper towels (we place one rag next to each coffee to drip off water from spoon after dipping), and hot water (regular tap or mineral water, not softened, not distilled - give it 1-3 mins rest off boil depending on the temperature of your room).
