A playful knockout tournament where you judge and crown Bangalore’s best coffee beans
Experience the thrill of tasting and judging Bangalore’s finest coffees in a fun, interactive showdown. Sip, score, and celebrate the city’s best beans as they battle it out for the crown.
How it feels to be a coffee judge (and why you’ll love it)
So, I once had an experience where I was invited to taste and judge coffees in a fun tournament setting. It was nothing like the intimidating, snobby coffee tastings you might imagine. Instead, it felt like a friendly gathering of fellow coffee lovers, each excited to discover Bangalore’s best brews together. You get a judging sheet that’s super easy to follow, and the whole vibe is playful rather than serious. The best part? You’re not just sipping; you’re actively deciding which beans go forward , kind of like your own little coffee battle.
You’ll start by checking out the coffee beans’ colour. Sounds simple, but it’s an eye-opener on how different beans look even before you taste them. Then comes the real fun: tasting two brews side-by-side, pour-over style. You take your time, compare, score, and vote. Watching some beans get knocked out while others move closer to the crown is surprisingly thrilling. I felt the same way when I was part of the first round; it’s like being a judge on a tasty reality show!
What you actually do at The Bean Showdown
Next, you get a quick intro explaining the tournament flow and rules,don’t worry, it’s straightforward. You’re handed a judging sheet where you’ll jot down your impressions throughout the event. The first step is the colour test of the beans, where you compare and rate the beans from different top cafes across Bangalore.
After that, comes the taste test. They brew the beans in pairs, pour-over style, so you get to experience each coffee’s unique flavour profile head-to-head. You mark your scores, and with each round, some beans are eliminated until the final champion is crowned. It’s interactive, fun, and a great way to sharpen your coffee-tasting skills without any pressure or snobbery.
Plus, you get to enjoy live music, relax in a cozy café setting, and chat with other coffee enthusiasts. It’s honestly a perfect way to spend a couple of hours learning and having fun.
