Said on Coffee Roaster Warm Up Sessions

“For a long time we coffee professionals were calibrated. Now, with the rise of all kinds of different processing and variables, we've kind of lost a calibrated idea of quality. Now somebody can say, hey, that's an 86, and somebody else says, what do you mean, that's an 87? But between an 86 and an 87 is a world of difference.” — Mark Kutrovski, Coffee Roaster Warm Up Sessions

“I think many people confuse cup score with flavor notes. Especially with natural processing, where flavor notes can be over-accentuated, many people assume that's automatically a high-scoring coffee.” — Mark Kutrovski, Coffee Roaster Warm Up Sessions
