Gadgets Coffee descriptor wheel
We continue to move forward, sharing knowledge and unifying criteria in the world of coffee, which is why we decided to create a collective project, led by our Qlab team, and other quality coffee professionals to improve and expand the coffee descriptor wheel, so that everyone can participate in the culture of quality coffee and its fascinating world of aromas and flavours.
The wheel is already available in more than 15 different languages, including Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Italian and Russian. In addition, thanks to the collaboration of Vero Coffee House it is available in Lithuanian, in Georgian thanks to Meama, in Bulgarian by Caffè Martines , WHY KNOT in Belarusian, Svit Kavy and Vysokakava collaborated to transcribe it in Ukrainian, Tucano Coffee in Romanian, Sweet Beans in Slovak, Ethica Coffee in Hebrew and Japanese, and also thanks to the contribution of Flat White Specialty Coffee it is available in Arabic and Halal Arabic.
We are still working with some more with the idea of sharing coffee culture and so that coffee lovers can deepen their knowledge and cupping skills and improve the definition of the descriptors found in any good coffee.
How has it been improved?
Starting with the classic wheel of descriptors to improve and expand it, it has been given a greater descriptive capacity, expanding each aromatic family until it reaches an objective range of final descriptors.
The three basic groups of olfactory and gustatory sensations are used as a starting point: enzymatic, caramelization and dry distillation, to structure up to 145 characteristic descriptors that can be found in a good coffee. You can read here how it works in detail.
Different ideas and applications
A series of gadgets have been produced from the coffee descriptor wheel, different ideas and applications ready to be served during the tasting sessions. Never alone, all the gadgets are designed to walk together, they all go with the brand of those who collaborate in the promotion of coffee culture.
