Specialty Coffee - What Is It?

Specialty coffee is a type of coffee that has scored at least 80 points on a 100-point quality scale by a certified coffee taster (SCAA) or a licensed Q Grader classifier (CQI). Specialty coffees are grown under ideal conditions, at the right altitude, during the appropriate time of the year, on the best soil, and harvested at the right moment. As a result, specialty coffees offer exceptional flavor and aroma characteristics.

History of Specialty Coffee

Although specialty coffee may seem like a new trend, its history dates back to the early 20th century. At that time, exceptional coffees were ordered by select customers, such as the Hotel du Crillon in Paris, which appreciated coffee from specific micro-lots on chosen plantations in Guatemala. The term "specialty coffee" was first used in the 1970s, and since then, more and more people have discovered its exceptional flavor and aroma qualities.

Evaluating the Quality of Specialty Coffee

The process of evaluating the quality of specialty coffee involves a visual inspection of the beans and cupping, which is the coffee tasting. The visual inspection includes examining a 350g sample of coffee beans for defects such as black or sour beans. Specialty coffee must not contain any primary defects and should have fewer than five secondary defects, such as broken beans.

Score Grade Is it Specialty Coffee?
90-100 Outstanding Specialty Coffee
85-89.99 Excellent Specialty Coffee
80-84.99 Very Good Specialty Coffee
Below 80 Below Specialty Quality Not Specialty Coffee

Regions of Specialty Coffee Production

Most countries that produce commercial coffee also produce small quantities of specialty coffee. Countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, and Colombia are commonly associated with specialty coffee, but many lesser-known countries are also striving to produce the best coffee in the world. For example, Panama has gained recognition for its educated farmers, increased biodiversity, and diverse microclimates.

Rising Popularity of Specialty Coffee

In the USA, specialty coffee is gaining increasing popularity, and companies like Stumptown and Blue Bottle are becoming as well-known as their more commercial counterparts. In the UK, the specialty coffee market is growing faster than the overall coffee market, with a projected year-on-year growth of 13% compared to the projected 10% growth of the entire coffee market. The growing popularity of specialty coffee is also reflected in coffee chains such as Starbucks and Costa, which are introducing limited-edition single-origin coffees that contrast with dark-roasted blends or high-robusta content coffees. The Allegra report also predicts a doubling of the current 1,400 specialty coffee shops by 2020 and a year-on-year growth of 17% for the specialty coffee market in the UK.

Summary

Specialty coffee is coffee that has scored at least 80 points on a 100-point quality scale. It is grown at high altitudes with great care and dedication from farmers. It is then sold at a premium to coffee traders or directly to roasters. Roasters create individual flavor profiles for each coffee, highlighting and showcasing its natural flavor characteristics. Baristas use carefully grown and roasted coffee to prepare high-quality beverages, often using precise and specialized equipment.
