Coffee Tasting is about Experience

Not all people are alike, when it comes to coffee and tasting. Some like it with milk and some like it straight.
Why is it, that different people prefer different flavors?

Tasting coffee is about grinding and experience. The tasting experience will always begin, when you make the buy - based upon your expectations.


It means - real tasting begins before brewing, with a buy and a grind. Smelling the hot water to the beans is the second step of the impression. In the moment of drinking coffee, when it reaches your tongue, it stimulates taste.

When you taste, it is divided into three main categories by professionals. The three categories are body, acidity and balance.

How do you get more people to drink coffee?
  1. Choose a good gourmet coffee and do not make it too strong.
  2. Add a dash of flavored creamer into the coffee, you can use flavors as amaretto, orange or vanilla.
  3. You could also add a dash of cinnamon or sugar to the coffee.
  4. Serve coffee at the right temperature, water must be between 92 to 96 degree Celsius
  5. Serve the coffee in cool glasses.
  6. Experiment with flavors and different coffee-beans, until you find a favorite.

To sum it up; Coffee-tasting is built upon expectations, feelings, and experiences. Picking a right coffee flavor for your particularly taste, could take some time. Build it upon experiences and make some coffee-parties. Show your kids, that coffee is not just coffee. Coffee comes in many variations and different flavors, and can be served hot, cold or it could also be an ingredient into a really nice homemade ice-cream.
