Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) for Cuppers Course

The Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) for Cuppers Course is a two-day professional update for coffee cuppers, during which they will learn and become familiarized with the SCA’s new Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) as a tool to evaluate coffee’s value. The course is full of hands-on activities to demonstrate the elements of CVA, including several cuppings, lectures, and periods of discussion. 

Please Note:  The CVA for Cuppers course will be retired on November 30, 2026.  This course will not be taught after that date.

• Identify and utilize the new CVA sensory references.
• Explain the function and background of key sensory assessment tools used in CVA – 15-point intensity scales, CATA lists, and hedonic scales.
• Use the CVA Descriptive and Affective Forms to describe and evaluate coffee.
