I take my coffee seriously, but not to the level of the folks at the Specialty Coffee Association of America. The SCAA has been setting standards for the U.S. coffee market for the past three decades and offers guidance for both coffee professionals and the recreational drinker on defining precise coffee tasting terminology.

The other day, I spotted a copy of the SCAA’s official “Flavor Wheel” on the wall of the fantastic Reykjavik Roasters in Iceland’s capital. Now I can be even more pedantic when describing my favorite cup of joe.
