Do you use the flavor wheel for tasting espresso?

I actually feel like the aroma section better describes the tastes in espresso imo. Trying to get more regular in my tracking of my home roasting espresso shots.

Don't use the wheel on a regular basis, though I did use it once for a reality check.

Tasted an espresso with a pronounced and unexpected cucumber taste. Never came across a taste like that before and thought maybe my taste buds were getting whacky. But sure enough, there it was on the wheel.

Do you find using the wheel helpful?

I find Counter Culture Coffee's Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel more useful.
