Coffee is a funny thing. Line up ten avid coffee drinkers (what we call “coffee snobs”) and you will find ten different definitions of what a “good cup of coffee” should taste like. And, after all, isn’t that really what we’re after here? A GOOD cup of coffee? Most coffee drinkers that I talk to (and that is an awful lot!) don’t use language like “exquisite” or “palette” or “hints of citrus…” Really, we are just looking for a really good cup of coffee! And that varies from person to person. You should be able to dial in your unique flavor preference with your local coffee roaster. Working together, you can come up with your own definition of that perfect cup!
I’ve come to realize that, while there is no, single definition for a good cup, there are quite a few for a bad cup!
-Coffee that tastes burnt… BAD.
-Coffee that is watery… BAD.
-Coffee that has been soaked in some horrible flavoring… BAD
Can we all agree to do our best to not ever have a BAD cup of coffee?
