The Cupping Room at Starbucks
Posted on April 13, 2010
Starbucks has a special room where new coffee is sampled by trained employees. It is called the cupping room
This interesting room is where thousands of cups of coffee are samples by the Starbucks coffee quality team each year. Starbucks posted the following description on its Facebook:
Starbucks says, "Another day in the cupping room. Just walked by, saw this and had to take a photo. It smelled amazing. The coffee quality team tastes thousands of cups of coffee a year to ensure the highest quality cup ends up in your cup."
The Starbucks coffee quality team must be pretty wired by the end of the work day.
Update: You can watch a video of the Starbucks coffee quality specialists in action.
