Quality and coffee are two peas that we want in the same pod. But how can we ensure that the coffee we drink is consistently good? This is where Q-Graders come in. Q-Graders sift through green and roasted coffee to score coffee on its quality. The score given will determine if the coffee is considered "specialty" coffee or not. A score can help farmers understand if their crops are good or if they need some work and can inform roasters on which coffees to buy.
