A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know a lot about coffee?
No. General Coffee Knowledge, our free quizzes, and SCA Foundation-level quizzes are good places for beginners to start. Learn the basics, try things out, and build your confidence one round at a time.
Is CoffeeScore free?
CoffeeScore offers free quizzes and free weekly review, with more free topics planned. Some quizzes and challenges may require Gold Coins. Each shows its entry requirements before you join.
Do I need an account?
You can try General Coffee Knowledge as a guest. Create an account to save your progress and rewards. Paid quizzes require a verified account.
Can these quizzes help me prepare for SCA exams?
Yes. Our SCA Coffee Skills quizzes help you practice theory for Barista Skills, Brewing, Roasting, Green Coffee, and Sensory Skills exams. We also offer SCA Q Grader exam preparation focused on Coffee Value Assessment and cupping theory.
Use these quizzes alongside your course materials and practical training. For the official Q Grader exam scope, see the SCA preparation guide.
Will I receive an SCA certificate?
Passing a CoffeeScore quiz earns CoffeeScore rewards, not an SCA certificate.
For hands-on training and SCA certification courses, we’d love to see you at Boot Coffee. Browse the course calendar to find your next class.
How do I earn characters and music?
Earn characters and music by passing the relevant quizzes. Music rewards add tunes to your collection. Visit My Crew to see your earned characters at work in your coffee café.
How do challenges and prizes work?
Each challenge has its own topic, dates, entry requirements, and prizes. Check its details before joining to see how scores are ranked and winners are chosen.
Seriously, who is behind this?
We’d love to create a whole coffee world where Jolie runs the place. And she really does. She’s Valerian’s cat, so the CEO title was never up for debate.
The human who built CoffeeScore is Valerian Hrala, a coffee educator who teaches at Boot Coffee and other places too. Learn more about Valerian, his teaching, and his coffee projects at coffeeis.me.
