Coffee Tasting app: the cupping sheet for an Ethiopia Guji Natural with fragrance, aroma and flavor notes picked

What is Coffee Tasting?

Coffee Tasting is a coffee cupping app for Android, coming soon to iPhone and iPad, made by J&H Technology. It records the attributes on a professional cupping sheet (fragrance, aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, mouthfeel, uniformity, clean cup, balance, sweetness and overall) and helps you name flavors by drilling down from broad families like Fruit to specific notes like Clementine. Use it alone, or run a group tasting where everyone records on their own phone.

Two ways to taste

Solo for your own journal. Group for the cupping table.

Solo tasting

Set up a tasting, add as many coffees as you like and record each one field by field. Everything saves as you go and stays on your device. No sign-up needed, and it works offline.

How group tasting works
Coffee Tasting app: picking a flavor by drilling down from Fruit to Citrus to Clementine

Can’t name the note? Drill down.

Fruit, then Citrus, then Clementine.

Start broad and go as specific as you can. Stop at Citrus if that’s as far as you’re sure of. It is the method flavor wheels teach, built into a picker. Every field is a pick from a list, so typing is never required, and if the word you want isn’t there, add your own. It comes back as a suggestion next time.
