I know coffee is roasted differently, much lighter, than coffee roasted for drinking. But can you cup coffee that is roasted for drinking? Lets say I have 10 coffees or 10 roasts that I want to taste and I don't want to brew 10 cups of coffee. It would be much faster to cup them. So what would you suggest I do because the beans are roaster darker for drinking compared to beans roasted for cupping?

Jared HalesHacea TeamHey John,
The simple answer is yes.
This really comes down to what the goal of your "cupping" is. There are standardized protocols and best practices for cupping coffee which include certain parameters for roast profile, time off roast, etc. These standards are all created for cupping as the primary tool to taste and evaluate green coffee as objectively as possible. Many production roasts will not meet the SCA's roast standards for cupping, and often times production roasts taste best 3-10 days after roasting.
If your goal is to taste your own roasts rather than evaluate green coffee, then your cupping becomes something else. Cupping 10 roasts like this can be extremely beneficial and educational to hone in on subtle differences in your roasting profiles. I do think it is important to note that many roasts on the cupping table often translate much differently when brewed with typical filter brewers. The best tasting roast on the cupping table may not translate into the best tasting roast in a auto-drip brewer or V60. I would encourage tasting your favorite roasts from the cupping table in brewers that will actually be used by the end customer to determine which profile you prefer to use as your reference.
In short, I encourage you to cup your roasts and confirm the results with a brewer that your end customer will likely be using.
If you have any follow up questions, just let me know!

Color consistency is a key factor in building brand trust. When users see the same color scheme across all touchpoints—whether it’s a website, app, or even physical products—it creates a sense of stability and reliability. If a brand switches colors too often, it can confuse users and make the brand feel less trustworthy. According to a Design Work Life article on the role of color in UX design, consistency helps in reinforcing the brand's identity. This trust is built over time, with color acting as a visual cue that users subconsciously rely on. For example, brands like Coca-Cola or Apple have used color so consistently that it's almost impossible to mistake their identity.https://designworklife.com/the-role-of-color-in-ux-design/ Maintaining a consistent palette helps users feel more comfortable, which ultimately fosters brand loyalty.

Minimalist logos have become a huge trend, and it’s easy to see why. Clean, simple designs are often more memorable and versatile across different media. I’ve been exploring how to create my own and found a really useful guide at logotipos minimalistas online. It explains how minimalism isn't about being boring — it’s about stripping away the unnecessary and focusing on what truly represents the brand. Using online tools makes the process accessible even if you don't have professional design skills. Whether you're building a startup brand or refreshing an old one, creating a minimalist logo can make a powerful first impression. Highly recommend checking out the article if you're interested in design!
