**Coffee Cup Scores Explained
In coffee cuppings, beans are graded on a familiar scale from one to ten. We follow the SCA's globally accepted system to evaluate:
- Fragrance/Aroma
- Flavour
- Aftertaste
- Acidity
- Body
- Uniformity
- Balance
- Cleanliness
- Sweetness
- Overall score
These individual scores are summed up (subtracting any defects) for a final score of 100. Specialty coffee needs to hit at least 80 points to qualify. Essentially, these cup scores help industry pros like roasters and producers communicate a coffee's quality and value.
