What is a Cupping Session?
Cupping is the professional method used by coffee buyers and roasters worldwide to evaluate and compare coffees. We've made it accessible, relaxed, and genuinely fun — no experience required.
Here's what happens when you come to an Over A Drink cupping:
1. Smell the Grounds
Before water is added, you'll smell the dry grounds of each coffee — your first clue to the flavour profile.
2. Break the Crust
Hot water is added. After 4 minutes, you "break the crust" — releasing a burst of aroma that fills the room.
3. Taste & Score
Using a cupping spoon, you slurp each coffee (yes, slurp — it's intentional!) and identify flavours, acidity, body, and finish.
4. Discuss & Connect
The best part — sharing what you tasted, learning from others, and connecting with fellow coffee lovers over a great cup.
What Attendees Say
Experiences Worth Sharing
"We did the private session during our trip to Kenya. It was the best experience to learn about Kenyan coffee and coffee in-general. The host, q-grader and the coffees were brilliant. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kenya"
"The cupping was incredibly educational and welcoming. I came knowing nothing, left with a new understanding of what I taste in every cup. I can not wait for the next one."
''Nilikuwa sijui specialty coffee ni nini, nikaenda cupping event yao Nairobi — sasa siezi kurudi kwa kahawa ya kawaida. Over A Drink imebadilisha kila kitu."
