Who Should Attend

This course is designed for current coffee cuppers who utilize the 2004 SCA cupping protocol. This includes professional cuppers, Q Arabica Graders or former Q Arabica Graders, and individuals who use the SCA cupping system at least once a month or have practiced it intensively in recent years.
