This one is pretty straightforward. I have an arrival sample on a coffee previously sold to me against a type sample and I'm just approving that yes, this is a close enough match to the type (the arrival sample is actually a little better than the type sample it was sold against).
The five cups are all the same thing for this kind of cupping as that allows a uniformity score (do these all taste the same? If not, how many cups are different from the others?) and it gives a better chance of detecting if there are defects.
I have a bunch of cupping spoons that the shop has purchased, but I never use them. Instead I use spoons that other people in the industry have given me over the decades.
