At Ally Coffee Headquarters, Greenville, South Carolina.

8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) is the non-profit organization that owns the Q-System of evaluating specialty coffee quality. Calibration is necessary first and foremost as an update to all the improvements that CQI frequently does to it’s Q Program. This calibration session is NOT for new learners, for anyone who has never been a Q Grader or those who have let their Q Grader status expire for longer than 6 months. Please contact CQI directly if you have any questions or review the official CQI policy at this link.

Additionally, when Q Graders are not cupping frequently, and their taste sensitivity and attribute scoring become out of alignment for the quality of coffees they are presented compared to fellow cuppers, calibration is necessary. A calibration activity reestablishes the parameters of how to identify various quality levels in coffee, ranging from outstanding to very good (specialty grade), and down to commercial grade coffees.

Calibration testing is required for those Q Graders whose licenses are about to expire or have already expired. Q Grader Licenses will be reinstated and reissued for all Q Graders who pass the Calibration Testing. A Q Grader Calibration course must be completed within 1 year from certificate expiration (6 months before, and 6 months after, the date of the Q certificate expiration). Unless written consent is given by CQI, Q Graders may not participate in a Q Grader Calibration earlier or later than the allowed timeframe. Q Graders who do not pass the Calibration, the retake of that calibration, or fail all three cupping sessions in a calibration course, will be required to take a Re-certification Testing.

The calibration will consist of three tasting sessions. Upon successful completion of the course, the license will remain valid for another 36 months, starting on the day of expiration.

The Calibration Course is a full day course. The calibration process involves three cupping flights, each with distinct characteristics. All Q Graders must be in calibration and pass two of the three flights in order to renew their license and qualify as an Active Licensed Q Grader.
