Coffee cupping glasses

Coffee cupping glasses are specialized bowls used in the coffee tasting process known as cupping. This practice allows coffee professionals and enthusiasts to evaluate the aroma, flavor, and quality of different coffee beans. Typically made from glass or ceramic, these cups are designed to hold coffee samples while ensuring that the taster can easily assess their characteristics. During cupping, the coffee is steeped in hot water, then slurped to experience its full flavor profile. This method helps in identifying unique qualities, defects, and the overall potential of various coffees, guiding selecting and roasting decisions.
