    Here are the cupping sheets I highly recommend for new coffee cuppers/tasters: caseymakes.coffee/shop/p/cupp...
    SCA cupping procedure: sca.coffee/research/protocols...
    How I like to break down coffee tasting:
    First pass: Find an identifying color. Trust your gut.
    Second pass: Tactile descriptors (Texture, mouthfeel, weight)
    Third pass: Find more specific flavors, draw inspiration from previous notes and identifying color.

    I too temporarily lost my sense of taste and smell from covid.

      Fun trick! For anyone who wants to know the feeling of " Losing tastebuds"...
      Take 8 oz of coffee, add 12 splenda. Drink. Now go and try to eat something afterwards. No matter what you try to eat it will be a diaster.
      even 1 sip of that coffee will mess with you but drink it all for the full effect. You tastebuds will freakin die.

    • @chemistrykrang8065
      @chemistrykrang8065 Před rokem

      There are a few reasons why you might not be getting all this:
      1) Lots of commodity coffee is pretty dark roasted, which tends to make it taste pretty generic and masks the origins (and any defects, which is why they do it). Nonspecific blends also tend to be pretty generic too because they're aimed at using whatever (cheap) coffee they can to get a result which is inoffensive to most people.
      2) Freshness - if you're not grinding fresh, and you don't know when your coffee was roasted, chances are that a lot of the flavour that was there has gone, and it may even be going stale. These are volatile organic molecules - the reason you can smell the fragrance of fresh ground coffee is because those compounds are evaporating into the air.
      3) You might just not be aware of the differences. We tend to experience things relative to other things. If you tasted several coffees side by side you'd notice the difference more than drinking one cup in isolation.
      Find your local specialty roaster and see if they do a tasting kit of small samples of single origin coffees (many do) and set yourself up a little cupping like Morgan demonstrates here. It's ok if they grind it if you don't have a decent grinder yet provided you don't let it hang around for days after it's ground. If you talk to your roaster they'll probably be super excited to help you.
      Just be prepared for the fact that once you start tasting really good coffee that has distinct and interesting flavour, you'll never be able to drink supermarket generic coffee or Starbucks again. It's worth it.
