That’s a great question, and honestly, I used to wonder the same. I started noticing the difference when I began comparing different coffees side by side. A 92+ SCA cupping score usually means the coffee has exceptional balance, clarity, complexity, and a really clean finish. It’s not just hype—it’s something your palate genuinely picks up on if you’re paying attention. For example, I recently tried a medium roast from Peru that hit all the right notes—chocolatey base, hints of black tea and honey, and this vibrant acidity that lingered just right. It was from a micro-lot, shade-grown, and organic. If you’re curious to experience what a 92+ coffee tastes like, I’d suggest trying this one: Organic coffee from General Warfield’s. It’s ethically sourced, has Fair Trade certification, and you can really taste the care that went into it. I brewed it with a V60 and it completely changed my morning routine. It’s pricey, sure, but once you’ve tried coffee at that level, going back feels like a downgrade.
