Why this calculator
Most cupping tools are either heavy, expensive ERPs or free toys with shallow math. This one is exact, modern and free — and it does both the score and the description.
Built on the SCA's 2024 Coffee Value Assessment from day one — not an old form with CVA bolted on.
The official linear formula, rounded to 0.25, with uniformity and defect deductions. Verified against the standard's control points.
Affective score, descriptive CATA and a live flavor wheel + sensory radar — the full picture, in one place.
No login, no cost. Works right at the cupping table — even without Wi-Fi. Bilingual EN / RU.
How it works
Pick CVA or the classic form and rate each section. The score updates live, exactly to the standard.
Tap flavor descriptors to build the wheel and set intensities. Capture what the coffee actually tastes like.
Save the session in your browser, or export a clean buyer-ready PDF one-pager — score, profile and notes.
The part competitors charge a fortune for — or skip entirely. One home for your cupping, traceable from the green lot to the roast curve to the cup.

The Coffee Value Assessment is the SCA's 2024 standard that replaced the 2004 cupping form. It splits evaluation into describing the coffee (descriptive) and scoring how much you value it (affective). This tool implements the affective score exactly, plus the descriptive CATA.
Yes. It uses the official linear equation from SCA Standard 104-2024 — 0.65625 × the sum of the eight sections + 52.75, minus deductions for non-uniform and defective cups, rounded to the nearest 0.25. It matches the standard's reference points (all-9 = 100, all-5 = 79).
Use CVA going forward — it is the current standard. The classic 2004 form is here for continuity and for buyers who still think in the old 80–90 range. You can switch between them at any time.
The calculator is free, with no login. It runs entirely in your browser and saves your session locally. The paid plans will be for the team platform — sessions, panels, lot catalog and roast-linked analytics.
Shared cupping sessions with QR-invited panels, taster calibration and statistics, a shared lot catalog, buyer-ready reports, and the feature no one else ships: correlating cupping scores with your roast curve. Join the beta above.
