Analysis of Variation in Coffee Cupping Tasting in Different Environments

Abstract:

The study focuses on the variability in coffee sensory evaluation results across different environments. Two groups of tasters were selected to assess their performance in three types of settings: familiar and comfortable, with ambient noise, and with distinctive aromas. Although no notable anomalies were found in the scores attributed to the coffee, a discrepancy in the results of two tasters was observed, suggesting a potential influence of the environment on their sensory perceptions. However, statistical analyses did not show significant differences based on the environment. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the interaction between environmental factors and sensory experience to enhance the objectivity and reliability of coffee sensory.
