Introduction to Coffee Tasting

Coffee tasting is a practical skill that becomes easier with regular practice.

Start by smelling the dry coffee and then evaluating the aroma after adding water.

Taste the coffee at different temperatures and pay attention to sweetness, acidity, bitterness, body and aftertaste.

Instead of trying to identify an exact flavor immediately, focus first on comparing coffees.

With practice, you can gradually develop a more precise vocabulary for describing what you experience.
