Smell, Slurp, Savor: How Experts Taste Coffee

With even more flavor notes than wine, coffee has an enormously wide range of smells and tastes to explore. Watch how our experts taste coffee.

but...as someone who truly relishes coffee and loves all the various great coffees in the world isn't it a constant source of disappointment that you end up tasting starbucks coffee every day?

Is it possible in your place to taste and cup a Starbucks' coffee bean?
I mean, in my city, every pouch of Starbucks bean on display is too old for taste and cup due to the transportation and such...
I have no idea to get fresh roasted bean of Starbucks, never been talking to the barista about this though

I don't like or drink Starbucks. It's high priced for second rate coffee.

Must be nice that the corporate Starbucks employee working in a food setting is allowed to wear wrist bands and a Fitbit ect. Yet the partners in the store can't. Must be nice. #tobeapartner

I was having hoping that an actual expert not a Starbucks employee would taste the crap... Then they would say "That's terrible!" and still get paid 10k

Slurping is just obnoxiously annoying when you can roll the coffee in your mouth without the annoying sucking sounds

If she is a coffee expert, and describes Starbucks as “pleasantly sweet, ” than she is not a real coffee expert. I am just your average joe, and I hate Starbucks 😂
