HOW TO CUP AT HOME: The What, Why, and How of Cupping! 

Do it as many times as you can. Totally worth. It's better to have coffee taste wheel somewhere near, just in case

It is an incredibly fullfillng experience that will only help to further your flavor perception

@@LanceHedrick That's definitely the goal. I've got everything except the fancy spoons.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to pull up the coffee flavor wheel.

Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it, especially on this video haha! Makes me sad this one is my worst performing. Cheers, Marty!

Thank you so much! Really appreciate that, friend 🤗

Thank you! This gives me so much motivation. Appreciate it!

@@LanceHedrick Hey no problem at all. I’ve only been into the hobby for just shy of a couple of years after watching one of James’s vids. Coming from an engineering and then a chefing background the anal aspect of speciality coffee ticks a lot of boxes lol. So much to learn it’s crazy. I’ve picked up a lot of information but I think I would benefit from doing a days course at say square mile (I’m uk based) just to bring it all together and give me confidence to know I’m doing it right, what do you think? I guess it’s like chefing in some respects. I once asked my head chef what constitutes a great dish he replied, apart from the classics as long as it tastes good it’s good basically. Thanks very much for your reply it’s as equally inspiring for me also.

Thanks for watching and the support! Means the world

Thank you I'm so glad you found it helpful 🤗

It's time to give it a try!

Of course! I didn't want to overload people with this information for their first time cupping. Lol

@@LanceHedrick Good thinking! Looks like you've really got some folks excited about cupping! Woohoo! Score! I'm even more excited about cupping as well! Thanks again, bro!

Hey! The last two IG Lives I did were cuppings with others! If on Instagram, they're the two most recent videos on my IGTV

Thank you! Years and years of accumulation

For sure! Probably will let the steam pass on Hoffman's first so people don't get mad I made one hahaha

🤣🤣🤣

I do not, but I'd venture to say somewhere around 500-600!

@@LanceHedrick ok cool, that tracks. I've been using Hoffman's method which is a 16.6/1 @ approx. 840 um, so 17/1 @ approx. 550 could be similar yet different... Color me intrigued.

I like around 500-600 microns! Quite fine

I think the decent is the best machine. The BDB can do most of what the decent can, but not with the same precision or tracking. Just two wholly different price points

Shoot @euanlake on IG a direct message!

Yeah! So, overextraction is a term i use to refer to the taste from pockets of overextraction (i.e. channels) cupping doesn't have channels. It is evenly extracted being immersion. That, plus the extraction will rapidly decrease after about 2 min because you're now extracting coffee with coffee

From my friends at Luminous Coffee!

Brewler. Around 800 microns

I like around 600microns, similar to Scott rao

So, around 16-18 clicks or so

@@LanceHedrick woah, that is fine. i usually make my v60 with 25-28 clicks. if I want to cup a darker roast, oily coffee is it okay with that hi temprature ?

@@LanceHedrick very cool. Definitely finer than most. I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks Lance.

Cupping gives you the profile of your coffee, so you can plan around it. Certain profiles tend to express better with certain brew method, so with experience, cupping will tell you what will fit that coffee better.

Hey! Will definitely do so in the future!

Scott Ray-Oh is the correct pronunciation. Can't remember what I said in this video, but I can confirm it is Ray-oh.

Good luck. You'll need it haha! Like on how I met your mother with Robin's "but umm"

Nope! Not crazy. Likely oils covering it up, tbh.

Haha where are you located?

@@LanceHedrick The land of the rising sun, Japan. No plans to expand?😅

make them close to asia region please aha

Love it! No one likes the drippy. And yes- let me know in discord!

I had him in it and my editor took it out 🤣

Smell and therefore taste rely on contrast. I’m no professional but theoretically you should have a higher olfactory resolution

Haha you may change your mind if you cupped 50-150 bowls daily for work hahaha!

I've tried lots of spoons and cupped thousands of bowl. My favorites are in the video haha

Hahahahaha true. Maybe in an advance slurp video hahaha!

How do you make comparative tasting or triangulation with pourover? You need all three cups to have the same temperature, otherwise it will impact the comparison.

@@Yirgamalabar to taste a coffee I just make it as I normally would and drink it at the temperature I normally do. That's all I need to do in order to know how much I enjoy it

Cupping (as I understand it) is mainly understand what the coffee is supposed to taste like by removing the brewing method. If you don't like what a coffee tastes like during cupping, you're not gonna like the taste in a pour over

Awwww cry me a river, baby. So sorry you are stuck in the 1920s where clothes mean something.
