What kind of characteristics and flavors do you get from your roasts? What are the main factors for getting those flavors? How does batch size affect things?
I would have added more descriptors, but only realized there are maximum 20 options after I started the poll, so perhaps if I do this again, I’ll be more strategic in the options to cover the fuller spectrum of sensations.
However, this will be a good starting point and looking forward to suggestions and comments!
Use this poll and check as many boxes as flavors and chadscteristics as you might typically expect from your roasts. Don’t worry about the why. For example, if one person prefers Ethiopian naturals, they will likely experience different flavors than someone who prefers washed Guatemalan, but that has nothing to do with the bullet. Don’t worry about that, as this is not specific to the Bullet, as much as more about us as Bullet users.
*I think one of the bigger flavor notes I missed was “nutty”. What else did I miss? 
Flowery
Winey
Earthy
Spicy
Complexity (is it really a flavor note, or just a characteristic? )
Complexity is a legitimate roasters note.
I feel like we can roast for simplicity or complexity.
And I do think my Bullet is prone to complexity.
I should have added “flowery” to the poll, but that tends to be more green dependent, and can be present in both light and medium dark roasts.
Regardless, I should have included it. It is better than some of the things I put in there.
@billc if I make an improved poll thread, I’ll include yours or anyone else’s notes where possible. I had originally intended to have like 50 different things. But 20 is the max.
I created this poll, because I see a lot of discussion about curves and targets, and trouble shooting dirty sensors, but I don’t see many poles about the results…. The coffee.
My perception/connotation of complexity is different from how complex the roasting roasting process can be.
For me, a complex coffee is one that has a lot of things going on.
A simple washed, well roasted coffee bean can be great. But, just a good mug of coffee. Nothing really stands out, but is delicious to drink.
A complex cup of coffee intrigues me and draws me in. There might be something in the aroma before the first sip. And as I sip that cup of coffee, things change. Some flavors may turn on and then a little while later another flavor will turn on. I encourage my friends to sip slowly and experience the different flavors as the coffee cools and keep sipping all the way to room temperature.
I have walked aroung the house some days just smelling the cup and smiling. Enjoying the aroma as I make my way to my home office.
