02 / The workspace

One workspace from first aroma to final report.

The app follows the real work of a cupping table: set up samples, evaluate without bias, keep the group moving, reveal together and leave with a usable record.

01 / EVALUATE

Use the scorecard the session actually needs.

Choose Free Cupping for an expressive tasting note, or open a complete professional workflow for CVA, SCA Traditional, Cup of Excellence, Q Arabica or Q Robusta. Scores, cups, defects, flavors and notes stay attached to the sample.

02 / COLLABORATE

Keep the table together without forcing the signal.

Create or join sessions, share a code or QR, follow participant progress and keep a common timer. Work continues locally when connectivity drops and sync resumes when the network returns.

03 / UNDERSTAND
