Sensory evaluation · In development

Evaluate coffee without losing the conversation.

OneTwoCup is a cupping and sensory evaluation app built to help coffee people score, describe, organize, and eventually compare their work while keeping the evaluation process flexible.

The idea

A score can be useful. The reasoning, language, and perspective behind it are useful too.

What you can do with OneTwoCup

From sensory perception to a structured evaluation.

OneTwoCup is designed for different levels of experience and different ways of evaluating coffee. Use established scoring systems, build your own evaluation profile, or begin with what you perceive in the cup.

Experimental

Notes-based scoring

Not everyone knows what an 8.25 acidity or an 8.5 aroma should mean. In Notes-based mode, you can start with what you actually recognize in the cup. Select the aromas, flavors, and sensory qualities you perceive, and OneTwoCup uses the internal values associated with those selections to generate a score.

This approach is intended to lower the barrier to structured coffee evaluation and may also be useful as a training aid for new cuppers. It is not an official scoring standard or a statement of the “correct” score. Coffee perception is subjective, different people can experience the same coffee differently, and the model is expected to evolve through testing and user feedback.

Recognize what you perceive first. Interpret the score second.

Score and describe in the same workflow

Evaluate several attributes while keeping the sensory context attached to the score. Record descriptors, intensity, comments, defects, and sample information without separating the number from the reason behind it.

Store origin, variety or lot, process, roast date, sample code, comments, and other session information alongside the sensory evaluation, so the result still has meaning when you return to it later.

Use established systems or create your own

Work with SCA, Cup of Excellence, CVA Descriptive, and CVA Affective profiles, or create an evaluation system around your own purpose. Custom profiles can use numeric or notes-based evaluation, different attributes, scoring steps, defects, and attribute order.

See the cup as a whole

Finished sessions bring scores, notes, coffee information, and sensory structure together. Attribute breakdowns and spider graphs make it easier to review the shape of an evaluation instead of relying only on a final number.

Save the work, not just the result

Keep drafts while a session is still in progress and review finished evaluations later. OneTwoCup keeps unfinished and completed work organized so a cupping can continue without losing its context.

Prepare on the web. Cup on the app.

Create a cupping session online, define the samples and evaluation profile, download a .cup file, and share that same session template with other cuppers. Each person can import it into OneTwoCup and evaluate independently.

Create a cupping session

Turn a cupping session into a shareable report

Finished sessions can be exported as a structured HTML report containing coffee information, scores, sensory notes, attribute breakdowns, and spider graphs. The report is designed to be readable, printable, and easy to share.

The HTML report can also be saved as a PDF through the browser’s print dialog.

Local-first

Your core evaluation work stays on your device.

OneTwoCup does not require an account for its core evaluation workflow. Sessions, scores, notes, presets, and related evaluation data are designed to remain locally stored rather than being automatically uploaded to a Between Sips cloud account.

Read the privacy policy

No required account

Use the core evaluation workflow without creating a profile.

Local evaluation data

Your main cupping information remains under your control on your device.

Export when you choose

Reports and data exports are created when you request them rather than being continuously synchronized to our servers.

Access

A useful free version, with optional paid features.

OneTwoCup is being developed as an independent tool. The goal is to keep the free experience genuinely useful while creating a sustainable way to continue maintaining and improving it.

Free

Core sensory work

Core scoring, notes, session organization, presets, and standard reporting are intended to remain available in the free experience, supported by carefully placed advertising.

Optional

Advanced features

Some higher-level tools and export capabilities will be offered as optional paid features. Excel export is planned as one of those paid capabilities.

Beyond the mobile app

The workflow also lives on the web.

Preset Builder

Build session templates and custom evaluation profiles directly in the web workspace.

Compare

Bring exported results together for structured comparison and calibration.

Portable workflows

Create and share structured .cup session files between the web workspace and the mobile app.

Development status

OneTwoCup is still being built.

The current focus is testing the evaluation logic, polishing the mobile experience, and preparing the first public release.
