Coffee Cupping Explained: Part 1

December 06, 2017

I like to think of my morning ritual of drinking coffee as a trip through a travel magazine…I’m excited and curious to explore the depth and complexity of the cup. I do this by breaking down my experience into two categories: what I smell and what I taste.

Testimonials

The sense of community surrounding BGB, and the attention to detail is something that sets BGB apart from the rest. I still haven't found a better cup of coffee or better service.

— Rachiel Musumarra

The owner is a real character and I enjoy my time with him and his crew. He has taught me to taste and appreciate the subtle nuances of different origins.

— William Schiebel

I buy from BGB for several reasons. One is that I know it is sustainable and the environment is considered important. Another is that it simply tastes good...better than any other coffee I tried.
