Coffee Characteristics by Origin - great reference
As I scour these wonderful pages, trying to learn about all things coffee, I had come across a topic either here (Coffees) or in Roasting, about the characteristics of different coffees by origin. Having interest in this too, I followed those links and got a good start at it, but I just stumbled upon the most detailed one I've seen yet and wanted to share it with you. It is quite a reference. I couldn't find the original thread to add this, so here it is:

It's a bit lacking in that it appears to have some biased opinions at the beginning and a bit over simplified. Check out James Hoffman's World Atlas of Coffee. It's worth the money.
I drink two shots before I drink two shots, then I drink two more....
What a great read...thanks!

Just what I was looking for. It will pair nicely with a poster I bought at Christmas from cafe imports mapping much of this same information. I am having it framed and put beside my coffee bar as a visual learning aid (nice look too).

Thanks for the link, I will have to read through it more thoroughly.
I second the suggestion of the World Atlas of Coffee book, it is a great reference, at a great price, chock full of information, and most importantly, not boring.

Do you know if they still have the poster available? I can't find a spot for merchandise on their site.r.rowlan wrote:Just what I was looking for.

I've been picking through this, and most of it seems pretty spot-on. But then it lists Brazil's "typical cup profile" as "brightly acidic".. ?

This is a fun blast from the past. I used to do some contract work for Coffee Kind when they were preparing to launch (out of the ashes of ROASTe), and at the time I helped edit this piece. It was written by a freelancer out of the Boston area who's into coffee. Yes, in retrospect I'm not sure how the "brightly acidic" Brazil bit made it through the editorial process. I've tasted a few Brazils like that, but it's certainly not the norm. Anyway, glad some found it useful.
