Confessions of a Caffeine Addict V: Naked Coffee

Coffee cupping chart: From Rogers Family Coffee
  Obviously, I have several friends that are coffee/caffeine addicts. One friend is a veteran who returned to college. Every cup of coffee that he drinks is Mill Mountain Blend, black. While the fact that a former serviceman takes his coffee black is not unusual, I have decided to try an experiment based off the idea of taking the flavor coffees that I drink naked, better known as black. And it's not going very well. First, I need to bone up on the coffee making skills because it has been awhile and I have been lazy. Second, just say no... sometimes... drinking some of the flavors has tuned me off to them.

  But naked coffee sounds better, doesn't it? And it caught your attention pretty quickly, did it not?

  What I am really talking about is the proper way to cup your coffee, naked. Sounds kinky, right?

Actually, it's not that much different than wine tasting. If any of my followers have hosted a cupping, drop a line and tell me how it went! Until then, here is this two minute beginner's guide to cupping your coffee.
