An iconic poster for better coffee analysis
SCA Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel Poster English is a visual reference tool for those who want to understand coffee on a deeper level. This poster is designed for sensory training, cupping, and daily use in roasteries, cafés, or at home in the brewing corner. For those working with specialty single origin coffee or wanting to buy specialty coffee beans with greater precision, the flavor wheel provides a common language for aroma, acidity, sweetness, and aftertaste. We think it fits especially well in environments where coffee is both craft and decor.

COFFEE FLAVOUR
This is one of the most recognizable resources in the coffee world. The Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel has served as an industry standard for over 20 years and is used by baristas, buyers, roasters, and sensory panels to describe flavor with greater clarity. It is especially useful when you want to compare origin, roast profile, and cup character in a more structured way.

This version is offered exclusively for the European market. For you, it means access to established educational and reference material that is otherwise often requested in professional coffee environments.
Background
In 2016, this important tool was updated in collaboration with World Coffee Research. The basis for the work is the World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon, developed through extensive collaboration between professional sensory panelists, researchers, coffee buyers, and roasters via WCR and SCA. The result was one of the largest joint research projects on coffee flavor, and a new vocabulary that helps professionals analyze and communicate coffee more precisely.
If you want to give your coffee craft a clearer language, this is a well-thought-out poster to keep near the brewing station, cupping table, or in the educational environment.
