Getting My Judge On: Where Coffee Meets Fun

So, here’s the deal. The Bean Showdown isn’t your usual coffee tasting event where you sit quietly and pretend to know your notes. Nope, it’s a lively knockout tournament where beans battle it out, and you get to score and eliminate your least favourites. When I arrived, the vibe was warm and inviting, with everyone buzzing about their favourite cafes and coffee styles. Each participant, including me, received a judging sheet to help assess the beans systematically , no coffee snobbery, just fun and flavour. The tournament kicked off with a quick intro explaining the flow and rules. Then came the first challenge: the colour test. We got to see beans from different Bangalore cafes up close, comparing their shades and textures. This was surprisingly eye-opening, and I found myself appreciating the subtle differences I’d never noticed before.

Taste Test Time: Pour-Over Brews Face Off

Next came the part I was most excited about , tasting! The brewers prepared two pour-over coffees at a time, and we had to sip, savor, and score them head-to-head. It felt like being part of a coffee duel, but without the swords , just spoons and mugs. The flavours were incredible, ranging from bright citrus notes to deep chocolatey richness. It reminded me of a time when I thought I knew my coffee preferences, only to be surprised by a brew I’d never tried before but instantly loved. As the rounds progressed, some beans got eliminated while others advanced. The atmosphere was friendly and competitive, with everyone sharing their thoughts and debating flavour profiles. It was a great way to sharpen my coffee-tasting skills and meet fellow enthusiasts.
