March 09, 2026
Cupping Corner
A small-group cupping that helps cafe owners and managers reconnect with flavor and learn to communicate it in ways customers understand. Participants will taste coffees from different origins, explore how small brewing and roast changes alter flavor, and practice describing those differences in everyday language.
Key takeaways include:
- A quick three-cup calibration exercise you can repeat with staff to align palates.
- Translating tasting notes into simple, engaging menu or signage descriptions.
- A café cupping checklist and sensory-vocabulary reference cards to take home for team training.
