In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenges coffee expert Dillon Edwards of Parlor Coffee to guess which coffee is more expensive. Edwards breaks down roasts (dark roast vs light roast), processing, freshness, varietals, and source. For each element, the connoisseur looks at and tests each coffee before guessing which coffee costs more. Once the prices are revealed, Edwards explains why a specific coffee costs more and dives into specifics on how each coffee is made.

It would not really be a strong apricot flavor; it'd be like a hint of a flavor like that. In fact you could find a coffee that to YOU may have a melon flavor, or a citrus flavor, or some less-defined fruity flavor.

It can though. If you get high quality coffee (doesn't have to cost 86$) and a decent set up it's amazing the kinds of flavors and profiles you can extract from your coffee. And it's a wonderful feeling to taste all the notes of your coffee for the first time when you brew properly.
@Naokarma

The other one mentioned for the variety section is still considered a very good coffee. The apricot one is just about $20 more than it needs to be, imo. It's expensive due to its rarity, rather than actual quality. Cost when it comes to food scales exponentially.

This is actually one of the reasons Third Wave Coffee (Specialty Coffee) is pretty important. Specialty coffee shops *should* pride themselves on their transparency; not just in taste but also sourcing. Intelligentsia and other high end coffee shop baristas will actually have knowledge of the farmers who grew the beans they roast and serve, and if not, it’s usually easy to find out through their site. It’s important to find shops that are transparent about who and where they’re sourcing from, as to keep the company accountable for the labor it takes to produce their product!

I love that he mentioned “could take cream and sugar well” because most “coffee drinkers” make you feel like if you can’t handle a coffee black you don’t like coffee. But it appears that a lot of readily available coffees are not really the right flavor to be drinking black.

People who brag about drinking cheap coffee black are just silly & don’t know anything... it’s like bragging about eating your McDonald’s burger without any condiments in a discussion about steak. Sugar & milk help make cheaper coffees (and teas) more palatable. Good coffees have a lot of nuanced flavors & are naturally sweet, so adding stuff is kind of a waste. But at the end of the day all that matters is you like it.

@@nathanpenick9454 Well milk and sugar make up for problems that arise in the coffee processing. Milk reduces the sourness and sugar the bitterness. Lots of off the shelf coffee is over roasted and dried out so it keeps longer. As a result you get a lot of stale coffee grounds. This means that the oils aren't fresh which leads to the sour instead of subtle acidity, and the coffee is over roasted or over oxidative so it becomes bitter. Some people think bitter coffee is somehow manly so they run off with dried out "espresso" roasts or dark roasts (see Starbucks Sumatra) and it's great to see them twist their face as they grimace at their coffee. Any way you want to take your coffee is fine with me, I take it various ways depending on what I'm drinking and how it's brewed myself (even instant coffees are great). I think the reasons for the different coffee flavors is super interesting, though.

I learned to appreciate coffee living in Germany. Returning to the US, I tried a dozen different brands, but could not find one that I liked. Problem was that I was buying Arabica beans when coffee that I drank in Germany was made from Robusta beans. Once I got the bean choice correct, I was happy. BTW adding cream and sugar to Robusta coffee causes a chemical reaction. The result is nasty.

Google: Sweet Maria's Coffee. Get a stovetop popcorn popper ($20~ish), roast your own. You can be absolutely sure of the quality if you pay attention to detail. I brew with a French press, and a paperless pour over I got on amazon. Do not rely on a machine to make coffee unless you want espresso. Keurig and Mr Coffee are a racket. They make horrible coffee no matter how good your beans are. PS: The guy in this video is rushing through the pour over. You should pour in little circles very slowly so that the coffee coming out the bottom of the cone is the same amount as the water going in the top. He also skipped the pre-bloom and let it bloom in the main pour, that makes diluted coffee.

Jake MacTosh the coffee industry is legitimately born off the backs of pallets, coffee is tasted blind and in large number of samples - people buy the crops that taste better. Some wine vineyards are so well known the name carries more than the flavour. Though it is starting to get a bit like that with coffee (geisha from Panama is a very famous coffee) the coffee is a raw product that undergoes more processes than wine. A barista that works in specialty coffee has to MAKE the coffee, and his pallet will guide that process - so in that way his pallet is crucial to being hireable as a barista, where a wine somalier just has to say weather as wine is good or bad, if a barista makes a bad call on the coffee. It’s very easy to notice.

Coffee varies widely and just has more variables than wine. For example the exact same coffee will taste completely different if brewed at 180F vs at 200F water temperature. The time it takes to steep, the brewing method, the freshness, are just as important as the origin and source.

I know it's going to rely on several factors. I use light or medium light roasts of single origin coffee fresh roasted by a local roaster, and I grind a little on the fine side for my drip coffee maker. (I don't have a pour-over. Please be kind.

However, this video was pretty much flawless for what it was. The expert expressed his thoughts very clearly, he nailed the price points, gave good reasoning behind his decisions, and the video gave good summaries to tie it all together. Also, the audio, video, lighting, sound effects, etc were all pristine. Plus - the chalkboard art is on-point! I give this video a 9.5 out of 10 because a coffee snob never gives a perfect score ;)

@@anticipayo It's "unfalsifiable" because coffee flavor is relatively subjective and flavor profiles/notes are typically branded onto a bag based on the observations of a handful of taste-testers fixed in a particular context. Third wave coffee has helped light roasts only recently elude the ashes of obscurity, so perhaps I could recommend trying some Ethiopian beans from a local roaster (Yirgacheffe is a common recommendation in the community). I can personally attest to the fact that, when brewed in my V60, the resulting product tastes like blueberries with a hint of coffee. When prepared as espresso or in a French press, the flavors will typically intermingle with little identity (which is why I'm not personally an advocate for either brewing method). Coffee's a volatile fruit/beverage and, while I don't doubt your own anecdotal experience, Third Wave coffee roasters have provided a completely different perspective of what coffee can be than what I've experienced from most of my local coffee shops (though more are beginning to source from Third Wave roasters and roast their own fruit bombs). Happy brewing!

LOL I can tell you that coffee tastes like coffee but beans from different regions have a completely different taste from others. My favorite coffee is Colombian coffee. Definitely try out single origin coffees and do a pour over brew and you’ll taste the difference.

@@anticipayo A commodity is any sellable raw material. Location procured does not affect the label, simply if it can be sold. Also, the location's soil has different minerals and vitamins like phosphorus content as well as different climates which inherently affects coffee plant growth and taste. Roasting only imparts the burnt material's flavor if something like wood is used, which mostly isnt, and amount roasted changes the grade but two different companies selling dark roast can taste completely different, due to reasons above.

It's nor exactly exclusive to coffee. Once you get a taste of the best that any field has to offer it's often hard to go back. The trick is to learn the best of everything that you value and get a general interest in it so you can really understand what the products mean to you and treat yourself properly with them. Most things aren't really too expensive anyways.

@@tahrin.choudhury Oh Lord, I just tried some old school Folgers to try cowboy style and did not like the taste. Will try it in a French Press and see if that fixes it. Just did not have a good coffee taste. If you like dark roast, I recommend Peet's Major Dickason, if you like a medium roast, go for Gevalia house blend or Folgers 1850 Pioneer blend. I don't like roasts any lighter than medium. Good luck, I hope you find a flavor you like. But like they said, once you start drinking the better stuff, you won't be able to go back to the cheap stuff.

Something you could do though is get an old overhead projector (or just a normal one if you've got it) and project an image and trace it. It'll look good and it's easy for someone (like me) with no real artistic skill. Or go for a really geometric style where you can measure and trace mostly straight lines. I've definitely done the 2nd one lol

Many of my comments applies to the other shows in this series and not specifically this one - so don’t be confused if I seem out of context because I am.

@tobymarol7329
@tobymarol7329 6 жыл бұрын
what he didn't mention is that the cheaper roasts are mostly dark because they are done on higher temperatures to process the beans quicker, which again is a quantity over quality thing. The problem with that is that the coffe won't be roasted uniformely and often the inner sections of the coffee beans stay almost "raw" and produce certain acids that will taste bad and upset your stomach. A lighter roast is often an indication that the coffe is processed carefully at a lower temperature over a longer period to get a roast thats uniform from the outside to the inside of the beans and also between larger and smaller beans (however, as he explained higher quality coffee will mostly have very similar sized and shaped beans anyways)

Sipping air with your drink (coffee, wine, etc) oxygenates the fluid with oxygen and nitrogen molecules that create an aromatic flavor bridge for the taste buds. Expert wine tasters and chefs have done this for centuries and science has proven it works. Try this - let a glass of water sit open at room temp over night and taste it the next day ... it will seem flat and unsatisfying. Now get a 2nd glass and pour that same water from a height of about 12 inches into glass number 2, then pour it back into the first glass and repeat this 8-10 times (make plenty of splashing bubbles as you pour). Now taste that same water and you'll notice immediately that your water seems more satisfying. What happened? You've "re-oxygenated" your water with O2 molecules (actually you've just slightly boosted the amount of oxygen, nitrogen, and other trace elements in the air, but it's enough for most people with a healthy palate to recognize the difference.) ;)
