Cupping is performed at several points in the production of coffee. Coffee buyers and importers cup coffee to detect imperfections. Coffee roasters cup coffee to determine the roast level that best brings out a particular coffee's amazing flavors. Baristas, roasters, and coffee shop owners cup coffee to describe the flavor profile of different coffees.
