SET VC 2023

Prior to the event start date, SET VC students will receive a box containing
roasted samples for three cuppings sessions, sample placement instructions,
CoE score sheets, an official CoE cupping spoon, and other goodies from our
sponsors. The SET VC will kick off with a special presentation by Head Judge
Scott Conary. Scott will teach students how to cup and score using the CoE
score sheet and explain what makes CoE award-winning coffees so special.
At this time, students will learn how to set up the event cuppings in the
comfort of their homes or cupping labs.
After the initial presentation, students should cup the coffees mailed to them,
score the coffees using the CoE Score sheets, and return their completed
score sheets to the event coordinators.

During the four-week event, students will have access to recordings of the
webinar sessions hosted by our instructors. Students will have the opportunity
to have their questions answered during special office hours zoom calls.
Students may also communicate directly with their fellow participants, CoE
staff, and the instructor via this event’s WhatsApp group.
After submitting their score sheets, students will receive individualized
evaluations of their work and reports compiled by the instructor. These reports
will be based on the same format and data CoE uses to select cuppers for
their National Juries. The report will provide insight into students’ cupping
skills and their assessments of the coffees that were evaluated.
On the final day of the event, students will join our instructor for a virtual
presentation of the data collected from all participants. Our instructor will
answer questions about the coffee’s attributes, the cupping data, and much
more.
