DemoX is a lightweight cupping tool utilizing the Coffee Rose allowing you to quickly build a flight, invite others, cup, and share the results with anyone. It’s a web app so can be used on a laptop, desktop or tablet (no mobile support for the moment). The workflow looks something like this:
To get started, choose if you want to Create a flight, or join an existing one.
Your flight will be created but we still need to add the coffees we will be cupping. Some fields are required for identifying the coffee on the table and calculating the final output, while others are optional and for your own reference.
We read from left to right and when skimming an article or image for important things, we generally also start from the left and work to the right. DemoX works the same way. Broad information on the left, and important details or things that need extra attention on the right.
When building your flight or cupping, coffees are listed on the left, and choosing one of them will open their details to the right.
Required
Optional
Once you are done entering the required information and any optional information, choose Save.
Note that coffee you just entered changes status from Incomplete to Ready in the left hand column
Need to add another coffee? Choose Add Coffee in the left hand column to repeat the process above for as many times as needed. DemoX currently supports single extractions of each coffee*.* If you wish to cup multiple extractions of the same coffee, you may do so by adding them as if they were separate coffees to compare the results across cups, however they will not be calculated or displayed collectively in the Flight Summary.
Notice that the coffees have a status indicator and color depending on if the coffee is Incomplete (missing required information) Ready (has not been cupped), Complete (has been cupped) or Defective (contains defects).
You can review your work by tapping or clicking the coffee in the left column to see it’s details, if you’ve added all your coffees, choose Start Cupping to well…start cupping!
DemoX uses the standard Coffee Rose for entering descriptions about a given coffee. If you are familiar with the Rose from other versions, you’ll feel right at home!
The Rose allows you to enter what you are experiencing, and the intensity of that experience. Is also lets you add information about any defects, and builds a description of the coffee for you as you work.
Repeat the above as many times as you like for as many categories or as few categories as it takes to describe the coffee. Experiencing hops and green tea? Add both! The amount of detail you choose to add is completely up to you.
Once you have completed describing all the coffees on the flight, choose Submit Flight
If you make a mistake while you are describing, you can Undo, Redo, or view your complete History by choosing the appropriate menu item underneath the description.
