Most cuppers use three spoons for ease and efficiency. The Cupper's Kit contains the three spoons you need to get started; two Big Dippers and one Little Dipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUmeshiso cupping spoons are more than just beautiful and colourful. Founded by Umeko Motoyoshi, Umeshiso promotes coffee education, inclusion and community for under represented members of the coffee community, celebrating women, femmes, nonbinary and trans folks, BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUmeshiso has two styles of cupping spoon: the \u003ca href=\"umeshiso-the-big-dipper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBig Dipper\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"umeshiso-the-little-dipper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eLittle Dipper\u003c\/a\u003e. The Big Dipper is longer and lighter weight with a wider, flatter bowl. It has dual functionality and works great for both skimming and slurping. The Little Dipper is shorter, with a heavier weight and deeper bowl. It's great for long-haul cupping tables because the deeper bowl prevents spillage. Both are available in a number of colourways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cause you're my golden hour, the color of my sky.

(Being corrected on tasting notes, embarrassed, not knowing what bergamot tastes like). So I wanted rainbow cupping spoons, to disarm something that scared me. It reminds me that I can be myself - femme, queer, biracial, sensitive - and also do my job and taste coffee. All those things are possible at once! In Feb of 2018, I started the Rainbow Spoon project. I mailed out a rainbow spoon, for free, to anyone who asked. To rad, amazing women, femmes \u0026amp; nb folks, and our allies. After sending out 75 spoons, I unfortunately was no longer able to provide them for free! (As the spoons were paid for out of pocket). Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I think we’re all in this together, cupping the rainbow.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Umeko Motoyoshi\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yes, these cupping spoons are also perfect for ice cream, cereal, soup, and anything else you can eat with a spoon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out more of what Umeko is up to on the \u003ca title=\"Umesisho Blog\" href=\"https:\/\/umeshiso.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eUmesisho blog\u003c\/a\u003e and at \u003ca title=\"Wasting Coffee on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wastingcoffee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eWasting Coffee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Gold, Black, Rose Gold or Rainbow colourways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Dipper Specs:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 57g (2oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length: 11.5cm (4.5in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBowl Diameter: 4.8 cm (1.9in) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBowl Depth: 1.1cm (0.5in) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Dipper Specs:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 45g (1.5oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length: 14cm (5.5in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBowl Diameter: 5cm (2in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBowl Depth: 0.6cm (0.25in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is cupping? It’s a way to evaluate coffee quality. Cupping is favored by coffee professionals because it’s an easy way to taste multiple coffees at once. But anyone can do it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like to cup at home, you just need one or more coffees, a cupping spoon, and a few uniform-size cups in the 6- to 8-oz range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 12 grams of ground coffee to each cup and pour hot water directly onto the grounds, filling the cup all the way to the top. An aromatic crust of coffee grounds will form on the surface. After four minutes, break the crusts with a cupping spoon. Then use the cupping spoon to dip into the coffee, which you slurp from the spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sounds totally weird but - well, yes it is totally weird. But fun! If you have never cupped before, we recommend checking out an online article or video tutorial - luckily there are tons! Just do a google search for \"how to cup coffee\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\"\u003ecupping coffee tasting knowledge brewing expert motta kasuya espresso gear brewista amovee watchget hiware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umeshiso","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":39658354802782,"sku":"U-CS-GB","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gold","offer_id":39658356113502,"sku":"U-CS-GH","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rainbow","offer_id":39658356277342,"sku":"U-CS-RB","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rose Gold","offer_id":39658356310110,"sku":"U-CS-RG","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2404\/0687\/products\/umeshisocupperskitblack.jpg?v=1648053760","url":"https:\/\/oightouncecoffee.shop\/en-au\/products\/umeshiso-the-cuppers-kit","provider":"Eight Ounce Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
