Exporter sample quality and landed quality are still too often disconnected

Y
satu bulan yang lalu
Recently I have been discussing gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am not looking for textbook reply. I want to know whether gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality gives meaningful difference once you repeat it over many cycles.

Would you keep gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality in your normal process, or only for specific coffees and situations?

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.

I disagree a little with people who say gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality is only a small detail. Small detail alone maybe yes, but several small details together can move the cup a lot.

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.

For gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality, I only trust conclusion after I see same pattern several times. One successful run can be accident. Repetition is what make the lesson useful.

I think the bigger issue is not gap between exporter sample quality and landed quality itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.
