The time to curate your Cupping Flavours has arrived

11 months ago we launched the BETA of Cropster Cup on iPad. Since then we have left Beta, added "paper-like" cupping forms, iPhone and recently Android support. The backend has also had significant functionality updates: a new Quality Compare Report, New Session Handling and a complete redesign of the Quality Module are a few of the most significant of many.

Today more and more Cropster users are cupping on phones and tablets. The result is less time spent on data collection and better information because every cupping result is tied directly to a roast profile and green sample. This means you can easily map the effects of roasting onto the cup or compare green coffee samples to each other.

Besides cupping scores you also have direct access to flavours. We capture flavours as descriptors. During cupping you can capture a flavour directly on the cupping form and it is collected centrally. You can see if a flavour was found more often and you can filter coffees by it.

With so much flexibility there can be challenges: Aprocot instead of Apricot. Mold and Moldy. Over time your flavour database gets messy due to misspelled items or items you simply don't want to collect anymore. Auto-correct on your phone may have added a few funny examples too.

With this release we have added a management tool for descriptors. You can centrally manage and clean your flavours and apply the outcome to your existing cupping results. This means you can correct Aprocot to Apricot and all existing cupping results with Aprocot will be corrected too.

This update means your flavour database can become and remain cleaner over time. The end result is meaningful and completer flavour selectors in your cupping form and ultimately better information to base critical decisions on.
