Where’s your palate at?
JimmyP Nah, you’re not looking to learn. It’s obvious from your tone 🫤
Wrong, it is not that I have no desire to learn, it is just I have no desire to learn from a dickhead
JimmyP I have said that I don’t think, cupping specifically (a vague term in reality, if a very specific term in terms of a diagnostic exercise) will help. I have been trying to assist @dfk41 in his search for a different perspective on coffee since before this forum existed. I am as keen as anyone to see if he is able to adjust his appreciation of coffee beyond his catchphrase of, “sink it, or drink it”. I have no agenda in terms of convincing him he is ‘wrong’ in any way, because even (I think) if he is, such an attitude will, quite understandably, result in vociferous resistance, as it is condescending and patronising.
You say you are a, “paid taster” I don’t doubt this, but I do doubt that you are a paid coffee brewer & a paid coffee taster (because everyone who tastes coffee in the course of a day at work is usually one, or the other, but almost never both).
if you are paid to present coffee cuppings, tell us what your protocol is, in detail (e.g. how you ensure the SCAA/Agtron requirements).
If you are a paid taster, tell us what the pre-made coffee beverage is that we can purchase widely, taste with you & compare notes/perceptions.
Are you going to partake in Hoffmann’s decaf tasting event? (Both myself & @dfk41 are.)
Basically, give us something tangible before we all run out of patience with your attitude.

I do not understand why people will have to get personal. It is sad actually.
JimmyP I’ve searched and forgive me if I missed it, but I don’t see any posts where you have shared your experiences of how to taste more in your coffee? You have critiqued everybody else’s comments but contributed little in the way of knowledge.
If you can actually “help” people that’s a primary focus of this forum and the main reason I am here.

@JimmyP Please show, share and educate us with what you have got in your bag. You may start with why cupping is a great way to improve one’s palate. Please don’t be generic in your response, tell us how ? Videos, experiences, answers to MWJB’s queries and step by step process to get there are what you may require. Please be prepared as some extremely knowledgeable members will challenge you; and, you may challenge their practice, techniques than going personal. Otherwise, please give it a rest.
Enjoy your coffee. 👍
JimmyP Folger’s doesn’t cut it, but you do you. I gladly laugh at the mere mention of ‘being trained’ as that’s simply being led to believe what others think is better/different as in being their trained bitch. I taste exactly what I do from my dialed in setup with coffees I choose to roast. My home, my setup, my roaster gives my palate what I prefer and what others choose to pursue makes absolutely no difference in my world.
Ok. I sense a certain amount of discontent here, but I don’t suffer fools gladly!
For those that want to improve their palates I repeat my question of how you do that?
Surely you pay attention when you taste your coffee?
Let’s break that down. What questions do you ask yourself when you taste your coffee 🙂👍

JimmyP What questions do you ask yourself when you taste your coffee
Do I drink it or do I sink it? The fundamentals here are the type of bean you choose to make coffee from. Unless you have no prep skills at all, then the tweaks you make might improve the drink but if your bean choice is wrong…….
