Excellent video, Lance. Thank you for explaining that tasting notes don't necessarily mean that your coffee will taste like lime or apple or tangerine, but that the experience is reminiscent of those fruits.

I find it interesting that you refer to "black tea" as a taste around 9:16. Coming from high end tea and diving into coffee, tasting "black tea" can be as nuanced as coffee (arguably more). However, interestingly when tasting teas I also used "like coffee" without much nuance to describe taste and aroma. Goes to show that we like to aggregate tastes and aromas that we haven't specialized in. I'm sure somewhere there's professional apple tasters chuckling at tea/coffee tasters describing their beverages with wordings like "a hint of apple". Like you said, food is memories. A surprisingly profound insight. I recently tasted fresh mangosteen for the first time when traveling Asia and it reminded me of a tea I drank a long time ago that I had just described as "kind of fruity". I guess the takeaway here is that consciously tasting more food and beverages is a virtuous circle that makes the experience even more fun the more you try.

Probably my favorite video of yours yet! I would love more content like this, it really complements your gear reviews so that us home coffee enthusiasts can really understand what you're saying when you're reviewing grinders. I would be interested in how taste preferences differ between professionals and home enthusiasts. I know that in wine, sommeliers tend to really like super high acidity wines, like dry rieslings, since they're really refreshing after tasting heavy wines all day, whereas people at home might like something different because they don't need to refresh their palette

I have enjoyed coffee since I was a teen, but until recently I had never experienced the true complexity of a great coffee that has been brewed with skill and care. I appreciate your insight as it has helped me learn a lot about making myself and my loved ones a great cup of coffee. The only downside I have experienced is that it has set my expectations much higher when I go out and get a coffee from a local coffee shop.
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
Yes. The expectations now set are a bit high and make it unenjoyable if looking first and foremost for a perfect cup. If, however, your goal in visiting shops is to see new places, experience new concepts, and chat with others, then it should still be good fun! I have had to shift my focus over the years to this, as well.

I'm a fairly new coffee nerd so this was super helpful. But the thing I can't seem to wrap my mind around is describing coffee flavor as various food items. I've been assiduously utilizing high-quality beans, purchased from many of the distributors used in these videos, an 1zepresso k-ultra dialed in properly, and a V60 for months now. These upgrades have made my coffee experience 1000% better in recent months. But still, never do I think, "Wow, this coffee tastes like stonefruit, or pineapple, or molasses, etc. To me it just tastes like high-end coffee. I can understand describing different brews with terms like "sour, bitter, strong, sweet, etc" but citing specific foods doesn't make sense to me. What am I missing here?
@ottesonj Жыл бұрын
It’s more like if you hold the coffee in your mouth and move it around and breathe out do the hints of aroma+taste remind you of something. Does it linger or fade after you drink it, etc.. It’s not a primary flavor as much as the hints of other flavors that make up the whole. Like adding florals to an already strongly flavored food, it still mostly tastes like the original food but you can still pick out a lot of the added flavors or can tell what flavor was added even if it doesn’t completely taste like that added flavor.

Thank you for explaining what people mean when they try coffee and immediately start going on about "I'm getting lemon, apple" etc. I think not understanding that is one of the biggest things that gives this field a pretentious air and drives people away, especially when people literally say "I'm TASTING apples" or something, like the coffee magically transformed into a different drink in their mouth that other people can't taste. That poorly communicated gets people who don't get what they're trying to communicate to get immediately pushed away since it sounds insane.

Yeah that's the biggest confusion, very similar to wine, it doesn't literally taste like these fruits it just gives the impression of them and if you don't eat a lot of fruit on a regular basis then your brain just wont make the connection, thats what changed it for me just eating more fruit more regularly

Hey Lance, excellent video, having learned much of this in the beer world it’s always great to see the coffee perspective on taste. One thing I think is worth clarifying in your video is in the balance section, that balance can be different between coffees and roasts. A beer example is that a balanced IPA will have a huge amount of hops present in the profile where a balanced Pilsner will have a very subtle hop profile. On this same token a balanced dark roast might have a lot more body to it than a balanced light roast, which might be far more acidic.
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
Sure! I guess I should have been more explicit. I gave an example of a sentence on balance to hopefully ignite the imagination as to what they would entail. The idea is balance can be achieved with any style of coffee, but the balances will always inherently be different.

6:54 Just to clarify for the audience what you mean by “more beans” is more volume of dark roast coffee with equal 20 gram doses of light and dark roast coffee. Which weighs more--a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
20g of DARK coffee has more beans than a 20g dose of LIGHT coffee. the volume of DARK beans will also be higher than the volume of LIGHT because the beans continue to expand as they are heated. So, they lose weight AND expand. Does that make sense? So, to be even more exact, 20g of, say, a washed Yirgacheffe when roasted lightly has 50beans. so, LIGHT is 50beans to equal 20g. That same coffee roasted DARK needs 60 beans to reach 20g. So, volume and number of beans is higher but weight is the same. The latter has 10 more beans, though, so caffeine is higher. Make sense?

Pure brilliance Lance (as always). I would like to challenge you on caffeine strength. Put simply when I drink lighter roasted (singles or blends) I will literally not sleep that night. But when I drink darker roasted blends I can manage to sleep that night. It is blindingly obvious to me that the lighter roasts have way more caffeine in them (shot for shot). So much so that I fear drinking lighter roasts as I know I will probably not get to sleep that night.
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
I understand but it is likely placebo. There are plenty of studies out that price caffeine isn't really lost during the roasting process. My stance is rooted in objective data (meaning it is proven they have roughly the same caffeine- the difference is negligible bean to bean)

As we can only really speak from and identify from our own experiences, it seems important to diversify our experiences and the people who contribute to these tasting notes. Any thoughts about how to do that better in the coffee industry?

totally! One major thing is to go to local markets that are different culture (local Indian or Mexican or Asian, etc, markets) and buy all the fruits and vegetables and spices you can.

One thing I'm struggling with though is identifying flavors. I live in Northwest Arkansas and was wondering if you know of any resources around here (classes, workshops, tasting events) that could maybe help me learn the finer points of tasting more directly. I have almost no sense of smell (born this way), so sometimes it's difficult for me to pick out specific flavors or notes, since my taste doesn't work quite as well as others'. However if I have someone to help me pinpoint things, that helps! Sorry for the long comment, I just want to grow in my coffee skills!

Really nice video! It would also be very useful if you could have a video on tips/techniques about how to improve clarity/body/fidelity etc. for espresso (by controlling e.g. flow/dose/grind size, etc.)

What an incredible set of information you’ve provided us today! Would love to request a video on iced pour over coffee. Want to know your thoughts on it or how you would approach to brewing a cup of iced pour over. ❤
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! I'll consider the iced pourover. I traditionally don't enjoy cold coffees because the lack of aroma production but perhaps i'll make one!

Thanks! What about intensity? I often see intensity ratings out of 5 on a bag of beans.
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
Intensity is referring to how loud or quiet a coffee is. I didn't include it because I think it can be a bit redundant. But I probably should've included because it is used so often. So, for instance, a washed Ethiopia might have a low intensity blueberry note whereas a natural Ethiopia might have a high intensity blueberry. Can also describe a full coffee as high intensity. Idk. I just think qualifying the flavor is sufficient but whatever helps describe the coffee for you!

Great video! It video came just in time! Going to my first cupping this Saturday with a local roaster I really like. Any additional tips for a first cupping experience? Should I have a cup of coffee before going to warm up my palate or do cuppings lead to too much caffeine?
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
Yeah! I always have a little coffee to prime my taste buddies. Remember that anything that comes to your mind is legit. If you see a color when tasting, say it. That is very common. the colors can lead you to a more refined experience (seeing red when tasting. leads you to cherry or strawberry or raspberry). Most importantly, enjoy!

Hey Lance. Have you tried to taste test the shots on a thermocoil machine vs a boiler? Fresh water heated directly in to the cup vs water that sits in a boiler and is kept heated for a longer time.
@LanceHedrick2 жыл бұрын
of course! There is a paper coming out that looks at the difference between water sitting close to boiling compared to water that is heated freshly. The two observe...different chemical compositions prior to extraction.

Fantastic video as per usual, Lance. Love the intro haha. That being said, I have an unrelated question: have you tried the fellow Ode Gen 2 Burrs yet ? If so, can we expect an upcoming video on it ? You’ve mentioned in comments that you’ve helped them in the trial/testing process, so would it would be cool to hear Your thoughts on the final product, especially how it compares to the various SSP burrs.
