structured mouthfeel

January 13, 2009 at 11:04 am | | grad life

My bag coffee beans reads the following:

Rwanda. Dusty sweet. Dry yet juicy complexity delivers a well balanced flavor experience. Nice mouthfeel with structure. Acidity is full but not overblown. Tight citrus blossom and muscavado sugar aromas.

Whoa. I don’t taste any tight blossoms or structure. My labmate suggested that maybe they used Penta Water for the structure. I think that the structure comes from the coffee matrix being below its glass transition temperature.

Anyway, the coffee is really good.

  1. gotta love that muscavado sugar.

    on another note, every time i visit your blog it tries to launch quicktime to play an external movie. i think it comes from this post here: https://blog.everydayscientist.com/?p=1238

    it’s pretty annoying. any chance you could please disable the autoplay? thanks!

  2. It’s definitely more descriptive than an HPLC trace.

  4. Apparently just putting “This coffee is fucking delicious” on the bag just won’t cut it anymore. You need flowery descriptions replete with pseudo-connoisseur bullshit to make the consumer seem sophisticated enough to enjoy the truly subtle experience of drinking a cup o’ joe when they pick up the bag. Pure marketing bullshit, a symptom of the disease of our crass consumerism, through and through.

    …he says while drinking a Coke.

  5. also, does “structured mouthfeel” remind anyone else of Gertrude Stein? A mouth is a mouth, after all…
