The skills of coffee flavor description how to describe the flavor and taste characteristics of hand-brewed coffee

The coffee flavor described by the barista:

The flavor of the coffee you drink:

You at this moment: it's so real. )

Every time I see a barista tasting coffee, he will be very happy to say, "Wow!" This is very good! There are chamomile, lemon juice, fudge (for example). " Are you also trying to savor the coffee you just had?

As mentioned in the previous article on Qianjie, if you want to improve your judgment of the flavor of coffee, you can feel more of the aroma that stays in the mouth / nose after swallowing while tasting the food. Because the coffee flavor that baristas often talk about is not entirely tasted directly, but the sweet and sour taste of coffee is felt by the taste buds and then combined with the smell after the coffee is swallowed and the smell after swallowing is associated with a particular food / flower / object.

Later, some friends responded: "I followed suit!" I also tried to finish the fruit and felt the aroma of staying in my mouth, and then after a while I drank coffee with the same fruit flavor, but I still couldn't drink it! "

Drink more brewed coffee from others and share your own brewed coffee!

Drinking too much of your own coffee will lead to a kind of numbness, so that no matter whether this cup of coffee has turned over or not, I can't feel it clearly. Maybe in the beginning, my brewing parameters / methods are not applicable to this coffee bean. I haven't shown the best side of this coffee bean.

The purpose of drinking more of other people's brewing coffee and sharing your own brewing coffee is to check whether your brewing is too different from that of others. Although the flavor of the same coffee bean will be different in different bakers / brewers, it will not be very different. The flavor and tonality should be similar ~ for example, the Huakui 5.0 coffee beans brewed by the barista in front street have strawberries, citrus, melons and fermented sensations. when you flush, you may show a mixture of berries, oranges, nectarines and fermentation.

Sharing is the greatest pleasure of drinking coffee, share the taste of your drink, listen to others share what you drink, compare it and find out the cause of some problems. The most important thing is to "be happy and see sincerity" and express your true feelings. Don't feel embarrassed, and don't feel unpleasant, because everyone has different sensitivity to taste, maybe some problems that you can't notice can be corrected in a sharing.

I drink coffee in contrast to SCAA coffee flavor wheel.

Why can't you feel some of the flavor on it?

The flavor wheel developed by SCAA largely refers to the common flavor analogies in the United States, such as grapefruit, cherry, prunes, maple syrup, etc., which can be seen and tasted every day in the United States, although they can be bought at home, but people seldom eat these foods, so the memory of the taste is not so deep that it can not be associated with coffee.

So SCAA can only be used as a reference to remind you that you can think of the same type of comparison, such as grapefruit, we may think of grapefruit, white pomelo; for example, prunes, we may think of plums, plums and so on. These flavors familiar to Chinese people are actually strange to foreigners, but one thing is certain that these flavors will all be in the same type, and there will not be too much deviation.

Chinese people look stunned at the reincarnation of SCAA flavor, of course, people from other countries will have the same trouble ~ Cuperus, a baking company from Belgium, has made coffee flavor wheels for consumers, which simplifies what we usually know as coffee flavor wheels and classifies them into six categories: bright fruit, nutty, sweet fruit, flowers, chocolate, and vanilla.

Is it a lot easier to understand? Through this extremely simple flavor wheel to let consumers understand the trend of coffee flavor, but also let more people understand that coffee flavor is the role of today's coffee flavor wheel.

The flavor description and SCAA flavor wheel on the coffee bean package can be said to be for reference only. After all, it takes a long time to accumulate and compare the taste to form a memory bank. It is not necessary to eat a certain kind of fruit / food so that you can remember it and associate it with your coffee. So in the end, if you want to drink coffee flavor, you have to drink more brewed coffee from others and share more of your own brewed coffee!
