About Notbadcoffee
Notbadcoffee's Flavor Wheel is a web tool for exploring coffee sensory attributes. It is based on the Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel (2016) and the first edition of the World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon (2016) from SCAA and WCR. Users start near the center for general descriptors and work outward for more specific ones, clicking the wheel to open a flavor card. Cards include an attribute name, definition, aroma or flavor references, intensity scores from 1 to 15, and preparation or serving instructions, with clickable parent and child categories. Defect information is not included; the page points to the Arabica Green Coffee Defect Handbook. The tool is available on the web and in English.
