What is specialty coffee?
Specialty coffee is the highest quality. Specialists assess the coffee quality by viewing and tasting the beans.
Trained experts, so-called Q-graders, sift through, taste and evaluate the beans. The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) sets specific guidelines and a point scale of 1-100.
A score of 80 or more is considered specialty coffee. The raw coffee beans may only have five so-called defects per 300 g (e.g. stones, knots or damaged beans). When tasting, the aroma, taste, acidity, body, uniformity, cleanliness, aftertaste, balance and sweetness of the coffee, all play a role.
Specialty coffee can consistently exist through the dedication of the people who have made it their life's work to continually make quality their highest priority. This is not the work of only one person in the lifecycle of a coffee bean; specialty can only occur when all of those involved in the coffee value chain work in harmony and maintain a keen focus on standards and excellence from start to finish. This is no easy accomplishment, and yet because of these dedicated professionals, there are numerous specialty coffees available right now, across the globe, and here; right around the corner from you.
