Defect Reality, with Neil Oney

How much should the defect allowance actually be? The SCA says no more than five secondary defects in a 350g sample, but in reality, achieving that is difficult and expensive, and doesn’t add any value to the farmer, as it is generally handled at the mill. Participants will cup five samples prepared at different defect allowances between five and 50 defects per 350g sample, along with how to approximate the additional cost to achieve those preparations.
