I got lucky today You just popped up (Im guessing as an accident) it certainly wasn't because im a SUBSCRIBER because again thats NOT working Congratulation on your Big Win🏆
When my taste first came back after covid everything smelled/tasted different, and the post-covid coffee smell turned my stomach. It was so sad!! I'm happy to say I once again am back to enjoying coffee like I did before
@@candid0111 it kind of gradually faded back to normal. I kept drinking coffee the whole time because it's my caffeine method of choice, then I just kinda noticed one day that it tastes normal again (or maybe I just got used to the bad) I had it November of last year.
@@maddymay8014 hm. I'm scared. I had no taste at all for 2 months. Then my taste returned somewhat. Then it completely changed to everything tasting and smelling the same awful way. August will be the 6th month of bad smells and tastes. Even perfumes I can't wear.
@@candid0111 most things still aren't "right" for me, I still don't enjoy smells and tastes the way I did before, and I don't eat as much or enjoy my meals as I did before. I also feel like I have super smell now, like I used to love candles and now they give me headaches
me watching videos about guns and cars. I hate the idea of people having guns, and i'm not interested into driving or having a car, but lets just see what are these folks are about, you know?
I have to say this is one of my favorite videos that you've made (this far)! Many useful tips for someone like me who would like to get better at coffee tasting. Good luck with the training for the World Championships!
I've been describing coffee with colors since forever. My friends think I'm crazy: "How does coffee taste blue?" I feel so vindicated. Thank you Morgan!!!
Very helpful video, Morgan! I would like to ask for a video explaining how to train our taste buds to go on the right side of descriptions. I've seen some places trying fruit and so on, but what is the process behind that? It's an idea, of course. Greetings from Colombia!!
I too temporarily lost my sense of taste and smell from covid. A year later, although I regain my senses, I find them relatively muted compared to pre covid and I had to re expose my senses to everything as for some reason my brain forgot the profile of certain flavours so its still difficult for me during coffee tasting
Fun trick! For anyone who wants to know the feeling of " Losing tastebuds"... Take 8 oz of coffee, add 12 splenda. Drink. Now go and try to eat something afterwards. No matter what you try to eat it will be a diaster. even 1 sip of that coffee will mess with you but drink it all for the full effect. You tastebuds will freakin die.
this is enormously helpful - I don't drink much coffee because it doesn't agree with me, but I can see following a similar process for tasting tea. Also, white grapes and green grapes are synonyms so you were more in agreement with the tasting notes than you thought.
I've heard of a lot of different kinds of synesthesia, but I've never even considered taste to visual! It really does make a lot of sense in some ways.
I love this video! Learning different ways to describe and experience things is awesome. 🧡 When I had COVID, coffee was one of the few things I could -juuuuust- taste, which has made it even more of a comfort drink now. 😅
Good elaboration and method. As a wine professional I’ve been desperate to talk to more coffee professionals about comparative tasting methods because while there are overlaps, there are massive differences.
i really appreciate this approach to tasting. i tried cupping for the first time this week and i feel like i didn’t do amazing at it? which sounds weird because i’m just noting down how things taste for me? i might try associating colours when tasting coffee from now 😊
That was my immediate thought! As someone with synesthesia the color/coffee makes perfect sense to me but I'd worry it would just confuse people unfamiliar 😂
wow you lost your taste and smell too? I got covid on Thanksgiving of 2021, its been over a year now and my taste and smell are still messed up. at first coffee just had a very very distant taste of chocolate, then it started to taste disgusting for a while, then slowly it's been starting to actually taste like coffee, but its still a bit off and the coffee taste is very distant, almost like im chasing a ghost. the smell isnt quite there either, sometimes i get a random whiff that smells exactly as i remember coffee smelling, but when i try to sniff it directly its off, doesnt really smell right. if anyone has any recommendations about how to help heal my taste and smell please let me know
I had covid once last year, just got it again a few days ago after a trip. The first time around, my sense of taste took about a week and a half to come back. Luckily, I’m already starting to notice it again, so this time doesn’t seem nearly as bad
Very wrong about chefs having it easier. I was a sous-chef & tasting foods is as exacting as tasting coffee. Foods from different regions, & countries, but prepared using the same process, tastes different. The chef I worked with had a very sensitive nose & palate. It gets REALLY wonky when you're pairing with wine. A chef will recommend a wine to accompany the dish in cuisine restaurants & a sophisticated palate is a requirement.
At first, I thought you were a short-haired girl, then i saw your name and was like "Oh it's a guy", then i heared your voice and was like "oohhh, my first instinct was right!". But seriously, I like your content!
I have this thing with RU-vid notifications. The Bell is on, with setting to All, but I keep missing videos and it bugs the hell out of me. Does anyone experience the same and/or has a solution?
Hi may i ask for help? I just wanted to know how to fix acidic espresso be cause everytime i am going to pull a shot my espresso taste so acidic even i keep grinding it finer and finer and adjusting my ratio still the acidity still there sometimes i am ending up within 30/31secs knowing that it will help but still it is still too acidic.
i absolutely love the encouragement to embrace synesthesia. i felt like even though nothing about the bag told me to, my fermented ethiopia really tasted like baby blue/celeste, but maybe more saturated but just as light the colour was intensely defined in my mind, though i am usually not a person that makes many cross-sense associations normally, and there was no hint of blue on the coffee bag in trying to compare sweetness and acidity, i was pestered by these associations, and though i knew i am alone in my room and it doesn't matter what i wrote down, i felt kind of stupid to refer to a sensation that is not directly taste related though i was doing this for myself and my own pleasure and amusement, i still felt this weird duty to write in terms of what other people would understand it was wonderful to see you mention colour associations anyway, wonderful video, even if i arrived a year late to it, cheers!
Morgan - To me it tastes like orange jam.... British People - hold on, hold on, orange jam? 'furry fist slams on the table' Paddington Bear - NOW LISTEN HERE....
A cafe I used to work in used color descriptors for our beans: green was more acidic and bright, purple was fruitier and mild, and orange was bolder and darker. To this day I use those colors to associate taste before I begin dissecting into the coffee further! Great video.
I really really loved this video; I never knew how to ACTUALLY start cupping properly, and this "real-time" cupping video encouraged me to do cupping step by step as you did! Thanks!!
My tastes and smells were made screwy while I had Covid and it took over a month for things to return to normal. One of the most sad things for me was Mayonnaise smelled terrible, like rancid. It is my king condiment so losing it for a whole month was torture.
There are a few reasons why you might not be getting all this: 1) Lots of commodity coffee is pretty dark roasted, which tends to make it taste pretty generic and masks the origins (and any defects, which is why they do it). Nonspecific blends also tend to be pretty generic too because they're aimed at using whatever (cheap) coffee they can to get a result which is inoffensive to most people. 2) Freshness - if you're not grinding fresh, and you don't know when your coffee was roasted, chances are that a lot of the flavour that was there has gone, and it may even be going stale. These are volatile organic molecules - the reason you can smell the fragrance of fresh ground coffee is because those compounds are evaporating into the air. 3) You might just not be aware of the differences. We tend to experience things relative to other things. If you tasted several coffees side by side you'd notice the difference more than drinking one cup in isolation. Find your local specialty roaster and see if they do a tasting kit of small samples of single origin coffees (many do) and set yourself up a little cupping like Morgan demonstrates here. It's ok if they grind it if you don't have a decent grinder yet provided you don't let it hang around for days after it's ground. If you talk to your roaster they'll probably be super excited to help you. Just be prepared for the fact that once you start tasting really good coffee that has distinct and interesting flavour, you'll never be able to drink supermarket generic coffee or Starbucks again. It's worth it.
