About
Replace the paper cupping sheet. Coffee Tasting is a cupping app and coffee journal for baristas, roasters and home brewers: set up a tasting, add each coffee, and record what you smell and taste, field by field, on your phone.
Can't name the note? Drill down. Start at Fruit, move to Citrus, land on Clementine, or stop at Citrus if that's as far as you can go. The term lists teach the words as you taste.
EVERY FIELD ON THE SHEET
- Fragrance, Aroma and Flavor: pick notes at any depth, as many as you like
- Aftertaste: notes plus length, from Quick to Lingering
- Acidity: intensity, descriptors such as Bright, Crisp or Mellow, and acid type
- Mouthfeel: body from Watery to Coating, plus texture
- Uniformity, Clean Cup, Balance, Sweetness and Overall
- Free-form notes for anything the lists can't say
PICK IT, OR SAY IT YOUR WAY
Every field is a pick from a list, so typing is never required. If the word you want isn't there, add your own. Your own words come back as suggestions next time.
OPTIONAL SCORES
Words come first. Tap Add score on Uniformity, Clean Cup, Balance, Sweetness or Overall to score from 6.00 to 10.00 in quarter steps, and see the total when all five are scored.
250+ FLAVOR AND CHARACTER TERMS BUILT IN
Browse more than 250 tasting terms, from fruit, floral and chocolate notes to acidity, body and finish, as colored lists. Tap the guide button on any field to jump to the words for that field. The sources of both vocabularies are credited in Settings > Legal > Acknowledgements.

GROUP TASTING
Host a group tasting or join one with a six-character code or a link. Everyone tastes on their own phone while the leader keeps the coffee details hidden. When the leader opens the Characteristic Wall, the group sees how many people chose each note, coffee by coffee, and the leader reveals the answer key when ready. Up to 12 coffees and 20 tasters per session.
- Hosting needs a Premium subscription and an account (Sign in with Apple or an email code). Joining needs no account and no payment.
- Group tasting needs an internet connection.
- Report and block tools are built in, and objectionable text is filtered.
YOUR DATA
Signing in is optional for solo tasting. Backup and sync is off until you turn it on. Group sessions share your display name, your picks and your notes with the people in that session. Crash reports are off unless you turn them on. You can delete your account and its data in Settings.
Solo tasting is included, with up to three saved tastings. Premium unlocks unlimited tastings and hosting group tastings.
