COMPARATIVE COFFEE TASTING
Recorded on August 30, 2020
Have you ever read the tasting notes on a bag of coffee only to find that it tastes like…well…coffee? With a little practice, tasting coffees comparatively (tasting different coffees next to one another) it becomes much easier to pick out the distinctive traits of any coffee you taste. In this workshop, Wolf Marnell (Director of Coffee at Pavement Coffeehouse) will lead you through a simple comparative coffee tasting that you can do at home.
If you’d like to taste the same coffees along with Wolf during the replay visit their online store and purchase a few blends!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
If you’d like to taste the same coffees along with Wolf during the replay, visit their online store and purchase a few blends! The more different they are from each other, the better.
Materials list:
1. 2 different blends of coffee
2. A way to brew the coffee—a coffee maker, pourover device, french press, or really any way that you normally brew coffee at home.
3. 2 mugs
4. Some way of labeling the coffee mugs (dry- or wet- erase marker, tape with permanent marker, post-it note)
Steps:
1. Brew coffee #1 and pour into a mug. Label the mug, or keep very good track of which mug is which coffee.
2. Brew coffee #2 and pour into the second mug. Label the mug, or keep very good track of which mug is which coffee.
3. Watch along with the recorded workshop! We’ll discuss how to taste coffee generally and what we specifically taste in the coffees.
