Coffee is the new wine??
Stumbled upon this article in New York Times, with the topic “Do I detect some….Joe?”. Impressing a business contact, your friends or a date with your wine knowledge is common. Doing the same with coffee is a whole other thing!
People become more and more aware of what they put in them, and why should it be any different with coffee? Or tea? Or anything you eat, drink or inhale?
It’s fascinating to me that people have the passion and knowledge to do coffee tastings. I mean, I can taste the difference between cheap coffee from frozen pods, and real, freshly grained coffee beans. But that’s it for me. A good tool for the coffetasters are the Flavour Wheel, equal to winetasters Wine aroma Wheel.
I have great respect for people like Erin Meister and Daniel Humphries for trying to make people more aware of coffee as a product!
But I think I’m still are going to bet on my wine knowledge for my future dates…
Until later; Trust your palate!
