{"product_id":"rattleware-cupping-spoon","title":"Rattleware Cupping Spoon","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rattleware Cupping Spoon is a professional-grade tasting spoon designed for baristas, coffee roasters, and sensory evaluators who need a reliable, neutral-tasting tool for cupping sessions. Available in stainless steel and silver-plated finishes, with bowl-shape options to suit different tasting preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for the Cupping Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cupping spoon's material directly affects what you taste. The Rattleware Cupping Spoon uses stainless steel or silver-plated construction so the spoon itself contributes no off-flavors, letting the coffee's actual character come through clearly. For sensory evaluation work, whether scoring a new lot or training staff, that neutrality is not a minor detail; it is the point of the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfortable Through Long Sessions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCupping sessions involve repeated slurping across many bowls, and hand fatigue is a real factor. The Rattleware Cupping Spoon's ergonomically designed handle provides a secure grip that holds up through extended tastings without becoming uncomfortable. The balanced weight of the spoon supports a consistent slurp technique, which matters when you are trying to evaluate coffees against each other rather than against your own fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e one style measures 185 mm in length with a 50 mm bowl diameter, sized to standard cupping protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial options:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, or silver-plated for a traditional cupping aesthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl-shape options:\u003c\/strong\u003e flat-profile (185 x 50 mm) or rounded bowl, selectable at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped for a secure, comfortable grip during repetitive tasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion-resistant construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel variants are built for constant use and regular washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBowl Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBowl Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel, 185 x 50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlat profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e185 mm (7.23 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50 mm (1.97 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel, Rounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilver Plated, Rounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilver-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rattleware Cupping Spoon suits professional baristas, coffee roasters, green-coffee buyers, and anyone running structured cupping sessions who needs a neutral, durable tasting spoon.

The flat-profile dimensions follow a standard cupping-protocol size; the rounded bowl offers a different slurp geometry that some tasters prefer. Both are available in stainless steel; the silver-plated finish comes in the rounded style only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the silver-plated spoon suitable for regular cupping use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rattleware silver-plated cupping spoon is designed for cupping sessions and carries the same intended use as the stainless steel versions. Silver plating is a traditional material in professional cupping ware. For plated items, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the stainless steel construction affect the taste of the coffee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eStainless steel is a standard material for cupping spoons precisely because it is flavor-neutral. The Rattleware stainless steel cupping spoon is designed to contribute no off-flavors, so the sensory evaluation reflects the coffee rather than the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat size cupping spoon does this replace in a standard protocol?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rattleware Cupping Spoon in the 185 x 50 mm style measures 185 mm in length with a 50 mm bowl diameter, which aligns with professional cupping protocol sizing. If your protocol specifies a particular spoon dimension, verify against those specs before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rattleware","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel, 185 x 50 mm","offer_id":68203114823901,"sku":"RW-3400080","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel, Rounded","offer_id":68203114856669,"sku":"RW-5002692","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver Plated, Rounded","offer_id":68203114889437,"sku":"RW-5002693","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3315\/1709\/files\/3400080.jpg?v=1792112219","url":"https:\/\/coffeeroastco.com\/ja\/products\/rattleware-cupping-spoon","provider":"CoffeeRoast Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
