Introducing Cupnote, the ultimate app designed to transform your coffee cupping experience. Coffee cupping can be a delightful journey into the world of exquisite flavors, but it often comes with its set of challenges. Juggling between a spittoon cup, a cupping spoon, paper, and a clipboard for scoring, while trying to neatly document every aspect of the coffee, can detract from the joy of cupping. Have you ever struggled to recall a note or ponder over what aspects to focus on during tasting? Or worse, lost your painstakingly taken notes? Cupnote is here to alleviate those hassles. With Cupnote, you can: Ditch the clipboard and pen. Our app allows for one-handed input on your phone, making it easier to manage everything else you need to handle. Quickly access flavor notes and easily input your findings, even in the midst of a bustling cupping session. Customize evaluation criteria for public cuppings, ensuring that everyone can record what's important to them. Safely store and neatly organize your notes for easy retrieval and review. Features: Create and evaluate using custom cupping forms, ranging from simple checks to specialized SCA and CoE formats. Build your own sensory note groups and expand your notes as you wish. Perform analyses that were impossible on paper. Visualize and compare cupping results for insightful analysis. Utilize Cupnote in various settings - from tasting coffee in different locations to enhancing quality control in roasteries with custom QC forms. These can later integrate with Firescope, turning into valuable assets for roasteries. Cafes can use Cupnote as a communication tool with baristas or supplier roasteries to maintain consistency in coffee flavors. Coffee education and study groups can benefit from our app too. It’s designed to make sensory note association easy for everyone, allowing users to progressively refine cupping forms to suit their objectives.
