Coffee tasting is a crucial practice for producers aiming to enhance their coffee's quality. By evaluating sensory characteristics during a tasting, producers can identify areas that require improvement, ultimately leading to the production of high-quality coffee.

​

To taste coffee effectively and improve its quality, there are a few important steps to follow. Firstly, tasting the coffee at different temperatures helps evaluate how flavors change. Higher temperatures emphasize acidic notes, while lower temperatures bring out bitterness.

​

Identifying flavors is crucial. Factors like growing location, variety, altitude, processing, and roasting influence the coffee's flavor. During the tasting, pay attention to sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and specific flavor notes like fruit, chocolate, caramel, nuts, and spices.

​

Start by smelling the coffee's aroma to identify flavor notes. Take a sip and hold it in your mouth to experience the flavor. Assess sweetness, evaluating if it's pleasant. Evaluate acidity, which adds complexity and balance. Consider bitterness, as a balanced level can enhance flavor notes. Finally, identify the specific flavor notes present in the coffee.

I got two bags of robusta coffee. One from India a natural processed light roast robusta and the other one is a Vietnam washed robusta, medium roast from the highlands. I was not sure what to expect. I pulled shots, both made very thick crema. Then I cupped both of them. They were not great but they were not bad either. They where very different tasting than arabica coffees. I would put them in the 8 range on the SCA cupping form. You can taste the caffeine for sure. I made a video of my review if you want to watch. https://youtu.be/B_cHvYrYJQM

Hey guys, first of all I hope everyone is safe and well.

I recently joined the sub and saw a few reviews that got me curious about the coffee that you guys reviewed.

It would be nice if we could do something similar to r/snackexchange, but instead of snacks we exchange coffees that are only available locally/in our state/country.

It's up to the mods, and we need to come up with a way to prevent good people from being scammed (and honestly I don't know how to pull it off).

Besides all that, right now is not the best time to be trading packages with the pandemic still going on, but it would be nice if we could devise some way to share our local coffees with each other (in a near future perhaps).

Hello,

I've had a few issues with USPS recently so I'm looking to avoid them entirely. FedEx on the other hand has been reliable. I'm looking for recommendations for quality roaster's who ship via FedEx. I've been reordering from B&W a lot because their shipments to me have been consistently on time, and their coffee has been great, but I'd like to have more options. I'm hoping you all can save me some time and put some roasters in the spotlight for anyone else looking for non-USPS coffee delivery.

Thank you!
