Re: Orientation to Cupping With Hazel - Sydney
OMG, Ofra; how can you post this notice without mentioning that Hazel is the current Australian Cupping Champion!
I have had the pleasure of cupping with Hazel a few times and it has always been a lot of fun. Although last time it would have been nice if she had gotten one or two fewer cups right ;P
Cheers,

Orientation to Cupping With Hazel - Sydney
Hello CSes!
The workshop weve all been waiting for: Hazels Orientation to Cupping, September 15th, Saturday, 2:30-5:30
Hazel De Los Reyes, the current Australian Cupping Champion, is sharing with us her thoughts on cupping and telling a bit about the session:
"Cupping is an essential skill to those involved in the coffee industry. Roasters base purchasing and blending decisions on the potential they can see in the cup. Baristas these days are also looking to the cup to guide them in their espresso preparation. So what is this special industry tool?
Cupping is to coffee what tasting is to wine. Judgment is made of a coffee’s greatness (or lack of) through assessing the qualities it presents in the cup. But it’s not all sniff, slurp and spit. Consistency in protocols and understanding of the cupping language are vital to its usefulness as a tool.
Along with a brief introduction to coffee, participants will also be treated to a sample roast where Hazel will explain the basic phases that coffee beans go through from green right through to the crackling finish. Then it’s coffee cupping all the way.
Firstly, Hazel will explain the purposes of cupping and the processes involved. Cupping tools such as bowls, spoons, cupping forms and terminologies will also be discussed. Employing industry-recognized protocols, participants will then cup some freshly roasted single origins and afterwards discuss their cup qualities"
