You are given 4 cups of freshly pressed coffee. A brewmaster has correctly prepared these cups specifically for you.

Could you correctly identify the origin and roast of each cup?

Voted yes before I read all of your post. I couldn't identify the origin, but roast, yes most likely.

Depends on what we're comparing. Some folgers vs 100% kona or something? Yeah. 4 high quality beans with similar roasts? probably not.

Their origin and roast? Fuck no. I guess I could tell the difference between light roast and espresso roast.

Which ones taste good? Absolutely.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of some Covfefe Dark Roast beans. I'm anxious to try it.

This.  If one can't tell the difference of a light roast vs. a dark roast, I question that person's abilities for most things.

We did this at a roaster in Costa Rica. He explained the flavors evident in each roast/region/prep. Different preps can create different finishes with the same bean and roast. There is a huge difference between good coffee and that cheap crap you get from Starbucks.

 THIS

I could tell an Ethiopian from Central or South American. And the Pacific Liberica beans.

To me Starbucks is cheap beans over roasted, but they do have a bigger caffeine kick than most.

I can taste the differences but not identify origins or roast. I’m not a coffee snob and enjoy everything from swill at the corner store to Turkish camp coffee. Drink it all black and hot and I’m happy.

A few times guys at work have brought in some fancy stuff, Kopi Luak, Kona, etc., and run it through our awful coffee maker. It really does all taste the same that way through that maker. They don’t use enough grounds and it’s just coffee in name only.

When I make it you taste it and you can pick out the differences with ease

And just FYI, prepared properly this coffee right here is the stuff.

I may be able to tell that they're different, and maybe even some tasting notes. But there's not a chance I'll be able to guess where they were roasted or grown.

There are two things you will find in Calle Ocho...STD's and Cafecitos. I will direct you to the cafe and you will like it.
