  I’ve recently gotten into single-origin coffee, and I’m really enjoying the different flavors, but I’m wondering – how exactly do you go about tasting coffee properly? I know there’s a whole art to it, but I’m not sure where to start. Should I be focusing on specific notes? What’s the best way to evaluate the different flavors in the coffee? Would love to hear your thoughts and any tips for a newbie in the world of coffee tasting.

  that’s a great question! Tasting coffee, especially Specialty coffee beans, can be really fun, but it takes a bit of practice. The first thing you should know is that you’re going to want to focus on the coffee’s aroma, acidity, body, and aftertaste. Each of these characteristics will tell you something about the coffee’s flavor profile. A lot of coffee enthusiasts use the "cupping" method to properly taste coffee – it’s a way to experience all the flavors without distractions.

  Also, don’t forget that the grind size and water temperature play a big role in how the coffee tastes. If you're experimenting with different beans, try to keep your grind and brew method consistent to really understand the flavor differences. For example, a finer grind usually results in a stronger flavor extraction. It's also good to take notes on each coffee you try, so you can remember what you liked or didn’t like about it!
