The “cupping” experience
Filed under: Uncategorized on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 by admin | Comments OffPortland Press Herald’s Meredith Goad focused her Soup to Nuts column today on Coffee By Design’s process of evaluating coffee aroma, flavor, acidity and balance. It’s called a “cupping” experience. It’s an interesting article, here’s a link.
Since relocating to Portland, Maine, in ‘95 we have enjoyed Coffee By Design coffees. We started working with Mary Allen and Alan last year, they’re the owners and founders. Getting to know them and their brand has been a fantastic experience. Our respect has steadily grown for their product and the culture they’ve established. This “cupping” article sheds new light on why Coffee By Design is an independent business force here in Maine.
Cheers.
