When you hear that a kind of coffee is described as having the taste of peach and pineapple, it doesn't have to be that kind of taste. The taste is usually a very subtle hint, a recognizable taste in the coffee taster's taste wheel (above). To start tasting coffee, you can do the following:

1. Clear your mind.

We drink coffee so often that we tend to filter out the smell of coffee, just as the air in your home can only be detected after you have been away for a while. Try to forget the taste of coffee as if every cup of coffee is your first time.

two。 Be familiar with other foods and tastes

In order to taste complex flavors correctly, such as cilantro and roses, you must be able to recognize them. When you enter a restaurant or room with a certain smell, try your best to identify what you smell.

3. No cream and sugar.

Although cream and sugar will certainly increase the flavor of coffee, it will completely mask the natural taste of coffee beans. If you need to add sugar to your coffee, make sure you use the same proportion each time, but it is not recommended that you add anything.

4. Important tip: try drinking coffee

Compared with other coffee, the taste of coffee itself is easier to detect. The best way to extract flavor from coffee is to use soaking method. The soaking method requires coffee powder to be completely soaked in water all or most of the time and then filtered.

There are some complex guidelines for cupping, including special immersion brewing equipment, but the easiest way is to use a French press. When comparing two or more coffees, make sure that:

All varieties use the same coffee-water ratio and water temperature.

The soaking time is the same (about 4 minutes)

Coffee is tasted at the same temperature

5. Write down your taste.

Even if the taste starts with a simple "fruit", write down your thoughts and you will soon be able to get into a more specific taste and taste. Record the country of origin, what it smells like, and your best descriptor-anything you can think of.
