SCA Flavour Perception in Coffee Poster (Other)

Description Specs Method UNLOCK THE OTHER DIMENSION OF COFFEE FLAVOUR Not all flavours fit neatly into a category—and that’s where the SCA Flavour Perception in Coffee (Other) Poster shines. This visual tool is designed for coffee professionals and sensory explorers who want to capture the subtle, surprising, and often overlooked notes that make each cup unique. Developed through a collaboration between the Specialty Coffee Association and World Coffee Research, this poster draws from the WCR Lexicon—the largest sensory research project in coffee history. Created at Kansas State University’s Sensory Analysis Center, the lexicon identifies 110 flavour, aroma, and texture attributes, each with scientifically validated intensity references. This poster builds on the iconic Coffee Taster’s Flavour Wheel, focusing on the “Other” category—flavours that defy convention but add depth and dimension to your tasting experience. Whether you’re a Q-grader, barista, or flavour enthusiast, this poster helps you describe what you taste with clarity and confidence. Perfect for cupping labs, training sessions, or personal study—this poster is your guide to the unexpected and the extraordinary in coffee flavour. Dimensions: W460mm x L610mm (W18.1in x L24in) Format: Poster Publisher: Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Language(s): ENG Use to help you decode the complex flavour notes in your cup of coffee.
