S2 Episode 3: Coffee Flavors and Aromas

February 12, 2016Coffee Canonaudio, featured, Flavor Wheel, Podcast, specialty coffeeColin Mansfield

In this episode of The Boise Coffee Podcast I discuss coffee flavors and aromas, and how you can use the Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel to put words to what you experience when you try a new coffee. You can see all three versions of the wheel below.

In January 2016 the SCAA came out with an updated wheel, as well as a full description of how and why they changed it.
