SpecialtyCoffee
What is SpecialtyCoffee:
Specialty coffee is a term for the highest grade of coffee available, typically relating to the entire supply chain, using single origin or single estate coffee. The term was first used in 1974 by Erna Knutsen in an issue of Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. Knutsen used specialty coffee to describe beans of the best flavor which are produced in special micro-climates.
Specialty coffee is related to the farmers and the brewer what is known as the third wave of coffee, especially throughout Australia, New Zealand, North America. This refers to a modern demand for exceptional quality coffee, both farmed and brewed to a significantly higher than average standard.
Although there are many different Specialty coffee definitions, in accordance to international organizations, there are mainly three accepted requirements:
- The coffee must have been harvested by hand and with selective picking of ripe beans.
- The coffee must achieve a score of 80 or above on the 100-point Q scale.
- The maximum number of defective beans is 5, per 350 g.
What is single variety SpecialtyCoffee:
It is a variety of coffee, where its beans come only from a specific farm, so that its quality remains unchanged and the result always has the same taste and aroma.
The scoring system for specialtycoffee:
The prevailing and widely accepted definition for Specialty Coffee defines as a necessary condition its score of 80 points and above, on the 100-point Q scale.
Coffee ratings:
- From 90 to 100, it is rated as “Exceptional”.
- From 85 to 89, it is rated as “Excellent”.
- From 80 to 84, it is rated as “Very Good”.
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) is the union of the Specialty Coffee Association of American (SCAA) and Europe (SCAE). The SCA sets standards for specialty coffee at every stage of the coffee production, including allowable defects in green beans, water standards, and brew strength, while at the same time the SCA also sets clear standards on the coffee grading process. A minimum requirement for a Specialty Coffee is its number of defects. For a coffee to be considered Specialty, it must have from 0 to 5 defective beans, in every 350gr of ground beans.
