Each batch leaving our facility is defect-counted and graded under SCA, CQI Fine Robusta, Ethiopia ECX, and Brazilian Classification systems — transparent, documented, and traceable from sample to shipment.
Coffee quality is measured, not guessed. We count every defective bean by type, then convert it to a score weighted by severity — producing a grade that maps directly to world markets.
Severe defects count one bean as one point; minor defects require several beans to equal one point — mirroring their true impact on the cup.
A single primary defect removes a lot from the top grade instantly — the same rule premium buyers apply.
Full-defect scores round down to whole numbers, never in our own favour — keeping results strict and honest.
Inspected from a 350g (or 300g) sample, sorted under standardized lighting on a matte black surface for accuracy.
Every standard has its own counting method and grade thresholds. Select one to view its full criteria.
A representative 350g sample is drawn from the lot and weighed precisely to standard.
Sorted under standardized light on a black surface, isolating all 16 defect types and counting each.
Bean counts convert to full defects by each type's ratio, then sum to a total score.
The total is matched to the standard's thresholds, producing a grade with a fully traceable record.
