Rudolf Steiner, for example, believed that coffee actually induces a state of inner harmony and improves logical thinking; he once advised writers to imbibe large amounts of coffee so they wouldn't have to "gnaw their pens too much in order to link up their thoughts."

Costa Rica Terrazu Cerro del Fuego - And now for something completely different. I summarized the various comments on this coffee the following way: "A breakfast of coffee, orange juice, and toast with nutella". This is a coffee you just want to reach out and hug.

Cleanness: Cleanliness is a hugely important part of great coffee, and is related to the skill of the processor at origin. To me, this is similar to "clarity" in the cup, where the sweetness and other flavors of the coffee are unobscured by any dirtiness, funkiness, or off-flavors. This value, of course, favors washed coffees.

Thinking of Diana, we had a cup of Harrar--Daryn had never had it in a French Press before! I was shocked. It's so good. He said it was the best cup of coffee he'd had in a while.

The cup was solid and savory, and incredibly satisfying. Chewy is one descriptor I might use. The grace notes of dark fruit contributed by the Ethiopia Harrar Illili Daraartu topped this coffee beautifully. I sat there, reading the Times, so happy I had this experience.

Today, in the cupping room, we did one of my favorite things. We tasted a new coffee, Honduras Marcala El Puente, roasted 5 (count 'em) different ways. The wonderful thing about this excercise is, you get to look at the coffee from 5 different perspectives. Each roast presented a whole new set of descriptors: flowery, fruity notes at the lightest roasts; caramel, chocolate, and exotic spices at the darker end of the spectrum. The darkest roast, a French, was somewhat controversial.....predictably, I suppose.

He said that every time he visits one of his customers, he asks someone about the coffee. If they don't know what they serve and how darn good it is, he immediately calls his Customer Relations department.

Sweetness: This is the basic sensation of sweetness in coffee, and it is directly related to the ripeness of the cherry when the coffee was picked. The sweeter the coffee, the better; I would say that is universal. This is, of course, related to various mono- and polysaccharides present in coffee, and may also be the result of "fantasia" sweetness from other substances.
