We've
designed this ranking system to help you select an array of coffee that
will please your entire clientele. Simply count the cups under each of the
coffee characteristics. As the number of cups increases, so does that
particular quality. Coffee are rank on a scale of 1 to 4 • where one cup
designates a light characteristic and four cups designates a strong
characteristic.
|
| |
|
For example, the coffee on the
right would be full-bodied, with a somewhat strong flavor, medium acidity,
and a light aroma.

Starts with a
light "e;thin"e; mouthfeel (one cup), and progresses to a full-bodied, "e;heavy"e;
mouthfeel (four cups).
|
|
Flavor
|
Ranges from
mild (one cup), to deeply rich (four cups): by far the most subjective of
coffee characteristics, we've tried to rank flavor in terms of its
distinctiveness. Distinctiveness does not necessarily mean better: many
coffee drinkers prefer mild brew.
|
|
Acidity
|
Acidity can
be low (one cup) or high (four cups). As acidity is best described as a
pleasant tangy "e;bite"e; at the first taste, it is considered a desirable
quality by many drinkers.
|
|
Aroma
|
Because the
sense of taste and the sense of smell are so closely related, the presence
of a powerful, evocative aroma can really enhance the experience of a
great coffee. Many exceptional coffee do not have a notable aromatic
quality (one cup), while others, when brewed, pervade a room with a desire
to drink coffee (four cups).
