My Cupping Form

So I decided to make my own cupping form rather than using other standardised forms for the way I generally taste coffee. I wanted to simplify the other forms that have a lot of extra detail for professional coffee tasters, and just get down to the basics which is a simple rating for how much I like a particular coffee.

The intensity ratings for “Aroma” and “Acidity” are for how strong they are, and the top rating is again for how much you like them. A coffee can be particularly acidic, and you can really like the acidity of that coffee, or you could find the acidity very unpleasant.
