Coffee Rating System

Coffee Conspiracy’s coffee reviews are from regular people who just love coffee. No exact science here, but the rating system does give you a one to five rating to let you know which coffee’s are the tastiest of the bunch. One is the lowest tasting coffee, with five being the best tasting coffee.

Rating Guide: One To Five Coffee Cups

One Cup:

This is pretty bad coffee. This cup of coffee has no flavor–or actually it tastes something like dipping a brown crayon in hot water, with some old match heads thrown in. This is not how you want your day to start–or end. You don’t want to meet this coffee in a dark alley.

Two Cups:

This is coffee you’d be happy to buy in your everyday life. It will get the job done, but there’s really nothing special to see here.

Three Cups:

Hey, that’s pretty good coffee; you might even consider a second cup if you didn’t have to get up and walk across the room to get it.

Four Cups:

Surprisingly good coffee. It’s smooth, with no nasty acidity or off tastes. It grabs you firmly by the shoulders but doesn’t try to rough you up. At home, you’re going to want to add this to the shopping list; at the coffee house, go back and tip your barista another buck or two.

Five Cups:

Coffee nirvana. Drinking a cup of this coffee might be mind blowing. Warning, coffee flavor and satisfaction are imminent.
