Coffee grading may be stuck in the past.
🤔 Are defect standards based on science or tradition? New research aims to find out. Discover what this means for the industry 👇

What forms the basis for current green grading guidelines—and should they be updated to reflect modern science? 🧪

During a recent review, the Coffee Science Foundation (CSF) identified a gap in research connecting physical defects in green coffee to their actual sensory impact. To address it, the SCA and CSF supported a project led by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in collaboration with CESURCAFÉ in Colombia. 🔬 In this piece, SCA's Publications Manager, LAUREL CARMICHAEL, introduces the project, and the context that led to it.

For decades, coffee professionals have been trained to remove "imperfect" beans from "quality" ones — a cornerstone of green grading. 🌱 In order to gather scientific evidence about how defects influence flavor, this research will reexamine long-held assumptions and help to ground green coffee standards in science rather than tradition alone. ☕️

We're not just brewing today—we're optimizing. 🔬

We got our hands on the absolutely stunning Data Disco - Bolivia Gesha from Dark Arts Coffee Japan. This Double Washed Gesha, a masterpiece from producers Carmelo Yurija Ticona and Deysi Ramos Carillo, is already exceptional, with delicate notes of Jasmine Tea, Yuzu, and Apricot.

But what if we could make those specific notes shine even brighter?

That's where APAX Lab comes in. Instead of manipulating the brew itself, we're enhancing the final cup.

Our Process (Swipe to see! ➡️): 1️⃣ Base Brew: A clean, standard Kalita Wave (15g beans / 240ml water / 88°C). This creates the perfect canvas. 2️⃣ Optimization: This is the magic. We add our APAX recipe post-brew.

A precise dose of Lylac to elevate the delicate Jasmine Tea aromatics.

A touch of Tonik to amplify that sparkling Yuzu acidity and create an incredibly vibrant mouthfeel.

The result? A cup that is hyper-defined, expressive, and a true celebration of this coffee's potential.

➡️ Have you ever tried optimizing your coffee after brewing?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and checkout APAX LAB to learn how you can take control of your coffee's perception!

SCA-105 is live. We now have a common way to talk about what makes coffee valuable beyond flavor. New form linked in the post.

Exciting news! 💫 The SCA has published standard SCA-105 as the official method to assess coffee's extrinsic attributes using the Coffee Value Assessment (CVA). We've also released an updated version of the Extrinsic Form, replacing the earlier Beta version.

🗣️ SCA Technical Officer Mario Fernández-Alduenda sums it up perfectly:
"For the first time, the specialty coffee industry has a shared way to talk about what makes coffee valuable beyond flavor—a common language for all the qualities that define its worth."
