Set the samples
Start from a bean card or roast batch, or organize the table with blind codes before names and origins are revealed.
CUPPING · SENSORY RECORDS
Turn what you taste into a record you can revisit.
OLLA keeps cupping, blind assessment, bean cards, roast batches, and brews on one timeline. Record Cup Profile, Quality Impression, and five-cup Cup Integrity, then export a clean A4 lab report when the table needs a durable record.
FROM TABLE TO RECORD
A cupping session should outlive the temporary score sheet.
From sample setup to archive, OLLA separates sensory work into clear steps and keeps every result attached to the coffee and roast batch it came from.
Describe the cup
Record Cup Profile and Quality Impression alongside written flavor descriptors so numbers and language stay together.
Check cup integrity
Track five cups individually to flag inconsistency, contamination, or cups that need a retest instead of hiding them inside one total.
Archive and export
Connect the result back to the coffee, roast, and later brews, then export an A4 Full Record for a durable team record.
STRUCTURED CUPPING
Scores, descriptors, and cup numbers belong in one record.
A useful cupping record is more than one final score. OLLA stores structured sensory data, free-form descriptors, and per-cup integrity together so you can revisit the same coffee, roast batch, or processing lot later.
- Cup Profile captures attributes and intensity in the cup
- Quality Impression keeps the overall quality judgment visible
- Five-cup Cup Integrity tracks consistency and exceptions separately
- Flavor descriptors and notes remain attached to the same session
BLIND ASSESSMENT
Look at the cup before you look at the label.
For stricter comparisons, blind codes keep product identity out of the first pass. OLLA separates observed triggers, working hypotheses, and the final human decision: the system organizes evidence, while the user confirms the conclusion.
- Blind-coded samples reduce brand and origin priming
- Exception cups and trigger conditions remain visible in the record
- OLLA Assessment uses OLLA's own record logic and status language
- Final judgments are confirmed by the user rather than delegated to a model
REPORT & TRACEABILITY
Bring the cupping table back into Roast to Cup.
Cupping is not an isolated module. Link a session to its roast curve, bean card, and later brew records to see how the same coffee changes across stages, then keep the result as a shareable, printable lab record.
- Connect each session to a bean card and roast batch
- Keep a continuous Roast → Cupping → Brew history
- A4 reports are built for team review, sample exchange, and internal archives
- Records are local-first; iCloud sync is optional
ONE COFFEE · ONE HISTORY
Keep the path from roast curve to cup intact.
When roasting, cupping, and brewing live in the same record, a cupping result stops being a disposable score and becomes context for the next batch, the next brew, and the next comparison.
ROAST→BEAN CARD→CUPPING→ASSESSMENT→BREW→REPORT
OLLA BREW LAB
Put the next cupping session into the coffee's full history.
OLLA Brew Lab runs on iPhone and iPad with English, Chinese, and Japanese interfaces.
