Effingham Public Library offers Coffee Cupping Event at Local Coffee Shop The Effingham Public Library hosts a coffee event where participants will learn about the art of coffee cupping and take a behind-the-scenes look at the coffee industry.

Local coffee connoisseur Kevin Hyatt will present Cupping with Kevin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10 at Joe Sippers Café in Downtown Effingham.

“What better way to beat the Winter Blues than with a hot cup of coffee,” said Programming Outreach Manager Catherine Bailey. “This program offers a unique look into the coffee industry and demonstrates what coffee cupping is all about.”

Coffee cupping or cup tasting is a technique used to uncover the endless flavor notes in coffee and is performed by taking a spoonful of coffee from a cup, slurping it into the mouth, and then spitting it out.

Coffee cupping is how producers and buyers check the quality of a batch of coffee, with coffee scored on several aspects including cleanness, sweetness, acidity, mouthfeel and aftertaste.

“We all enjoy a good cup of coffee, but we often times do not consider the steps our local coffee houses take when making coffee bean selections,” said Bailey.

Registration is required for this event.
