When Coffee Notes Don't Match Your Experience

Send us a text

In this episode, I dive deep into a fascinating aspect of the coffee world - the disconnect between what roasters describe and what coffee drinkers actually experience. I explore how various factors like brewing methods, water quality, grinders, and personal taste preferences can dramatically affect how we perceive coffee flavors. I share my personal approach as a roaster who doesn't follow traditional cupping protocols, and instead focuses on real-world brewing methods to describe coffee notes.

What listeners will learn: I provide insights into how different brewing variables affect taste, why roaster descriptions might not match your experience, and how to approach coffee tasting with a more informed perspective. You'll understand why the same coffee can taste different across various brewing methods and how to better interpret roaster descriptions.
