How does our coffee score?
You may often here us talking about 'speciality grade coffee' but what is specialty grade coffee? Where does TrueStart score? What does it all mean?
This blog will hopefully break that down into easy to read chunks but as ever, if you have any questions we're only an email away! Let's dive in..
What is Specialty Grade Coffee?
Specialty coffee is a term for the highest grade of coffee available the SCA (Speciality Coffee Association) created a system to give coffee a score out of 100.
To be classed as speciality, a coffee must score at least 80/100 and all of our coffees score 82 or higher.
How do each of our coffees score?
The people that score the coffee are called "Q-graders" and below we've got a couple of examples as to how our Colombian & Brazilian coffee has scored in a grading this week (20th Sept 2024).
Every single small-batch we roast is graded by a Q grader, ensuring that the coffee you make at home is top quality & absolutely delicious.
What does this all mean?
In short, the score itself just dictates that we sit in the specialty coffee band, which means you get a high quality coffee at home every single time and this way you know that we're supplying you with consistently epic coffee!
At the end of the day though, you have to love the taste personally and that's more important than any score.
