About this book

This is a coffee log for anyone who wants to remember what they drank and how it compared. Each coffee gets its own page. Note the name, origin, roaster, variety, producer or farm, date, roast date and brew method, then write down what you notice in the aroma, flavour and aftertaste.

Finding the words for what you taste or smell can be tricky, so the checkboxes give helpful prompts. There are 30 common flavours to tick, from jasmine and berry to molasses, hazelnut and tea-like. A coffee flavour wheel groups flavours into families, and a separate process and acidity wheel records how the coffee was processed and how bright it tastes. A roast-level guide runs from light to dark, and a body and texture scale from light to full. Mark the length as short, medium or long, then add a star rating and a few lines of notes.

Four index pages hold a numbered list of your coffees with their ratings, so a favourite is easy to find again.

Questions people ask

Is it in colour?

The cover is in colour. The inside pages, including the wheels, are grayscale.

What do P and A mean on the process and acidity wheel?

P is for process and A is for acidity. The left half of the wheel has the process words (washed, natural, honey, experimental) and the right half has the acidity words (low, soft, bright, lively).

Are there two flavour wheels?

No, one. The coffee wheel is the flavour wheel. The process and acidity wheel is a separate guide to how the coffee was processed and how bright it tastes.

Do I need to know about coffee?

No. The flavour wheel and checklist suggest words for what you smell and taste.

Who is it for?

Beginners who would like a little guidance, and regular tasters who want one consistent format for trying new beans, comparing roasters and brewing at home. It also works as a gift for coffee lovers.

How is it different from the Coffee Tasting Journal?

The Coffee Tasting Journal is the guided edition. The logbook is built for recording many coffees quickly and clearly.
