In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenges coffee expert Dillon Edwards of Parlor Coffee to guess which coffee is more expensive. Edwards breaks down roasts (dark roast vs light roast), processing, freshness, varietals, and source. For each element, the connoisseur looks at and tests each coffee before guessing which coffee costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Edwards explains why a specific coffee costs more and dives into specifics on how each coffee is made.

The person that does the chalkboard drawings for this series is the real star.

[Efretpkk]

This time YES! This was a great example, with close prices, difficult choices... you pushed the expert, he succeded, and this helped us better understanding the little differences that can make coffees better, and made us clear that the expert is indeed an expert.

Good video

[joe_zupko]

You don't realize how bad most coffee is until you've tried some freshly ground properly brewed coffee

[lvodniza]

I’m going to be so sad when my next cup of coffee doesn’t taste like apricots

[cherryblossomings]

I love this series!! I don't think he was pretentious at all—he genuinely has a passion for something, and spent a lot of his time developing his skills to become really good at what he loves. This is something that I wish for everyone to accomplish one day. I didn't get many hints of superiority for having these skills (which is where a lot of 'pretentious expert shaming' comes in).

[katherinejmark]

Why are people so harsh against the speciality coffee industry, no one laughs at wine enthusiasts.
Parlor Coffee roasters is a phenomenal company and he’s not being aggressive at all. This is super informative whether you agree or not.

[alaciadavis]

I love that he mentioned “could take cream and sugar well” because most “coffee drinkers” make you feel like if you can’t handle a coffee black you don’t like coffee. But it appears that a lot of readily available coffees are not really the right flavor to be drinking black.

[gheefreak]

The way he talks about coffee makes me think I've never had coffee. What have I been drinking all these years?

[tayloru]

The background blackboard art is constantly one of the most underrated aspects of this series.

[Gongasoso]

This guy's so chill he drinks gas station coffee with the same face he drinks some 80+$/lb Gueixa godly brew

[Yourmomma]

imagine the coffee farmers finding out their beans are going for 36$ a lb

[AlbertoSanchez-nleh]

Please do: "Experts expert guesses cheap vs expensive experts"

[aliciakoh]

This video made me understand that I'm a peasant that drinks pretend coffee ._.

[NickWright]

02:55 I was actually about to comment how obnoxiously he slurps and then he explained an actual reason for it.. lol touche

[czemuczemuczemu]

I’m not a coffee expert, not even a coffee lover. But once I went to an amazing cafe with wide selection of high quality coffee. I’ve got a cup, from Argentina. Small coffee ☕️ was 4 times more than my usual coffee. But it tasted amazing. Light, fresh, not bitter nor acidic. No milk no sugar, pure joy 💜

[aceonfire]

i feel like there needs to be a tea expert after this one

[TheMrVengeance]

Man, out of all these "Expert Guesses" series, I *_really_* wish they'd show what the coffees actually were here, beyond price. Would be interesting to see if there were any surprises, brand-wise. And whether he was right about origin/process.
Like, how do you let the expert make such a specific guess about the Geisha coffee from that specific farm in Panama, and then *DON'T* tell us whether or not that was correct. Wtf?

[sharifaha]

Please do an "Olive oil expert guess"

[LittleMew]

I love the way he expresses his thoughts - vocabulary and sentence structure wise. Very enjoyable.

[sweetness]

I love coffee, but this video made me realize that I probably haven't had a really good cup of coffee in my life.
