Everything the cup needs — nothing it doesn't

01

Two protocols

SCA CVA (2024) and the classic 2004 form. Switch any time — the score is computed exactly to the standard.

02

Flavour wheel & CATA

Tap descriptors to build the wheel and tag what the coffee actually tastes like, with intensities.

03

Per-cup, five cups

Score uniformity, clean cup and defects cup-by-cup — taints and faults handled the way the form expects.

04

Session timer

A built-in timer with alerts at 4 and 10 minutes, so the whole table stays in sync as the crust breaks.

05

PDF & score cards

Export a clean, buyer-ready PDF or share a score card in a tap. Your sessions stay in your history.

06

Solo or group

Cup on your own, or run a QR-invited group panel and bring every taster's scores into one result.

Three steps from cup to record

01

Score

Pick CVA or the classic form and rate each section. The total updates live, exactly to the standard.

02

Describe

Tap flavour descriptors to build the wheel and set intensities. Capture what the coffee actually tastes like.

03

Share

Export a buyer-ready PDF, share a score card, and keep your history — solo or across the panel.

Run the whole table

Invite tasters by QR, cup blind, and bring every score into one consensus. Group sessions and panels are built in — with a synced timer and a per-sample report at the end.

Cupping, explained

Questions, answered

The Coffee Value Assessment is the SCA's 2024 standard that replaced the 2004 cupping form. It splits evaluation into describing the coffee (descriptive) and scoring how much you value it (affective). The app implements the affective score exactly, plus the descriptive flavour wheel.

Yes. It uses the official linear equation from SCA Standard 104-2024 — 0.65625 × the sum of the eight sections + 52.75, minus deductions for non-uniform and defective cups, rounded to the nearest 0.25. It matches the standard's reference points (all-9 = 100, all-5 = 79).

No — you can cup as a guest right away. Sign in only when you want to keep your history and sync it across devices.

Yes. It's an open beta and every feature is free while we test. Pricing comes later — there's nothing to pay today.

Use CVA going forward — it's the current standard. The classic 2004 form is there for continuity and for buyers who still think in the old 80–90 range. You can switch between them at any time.
