Barista Hustle's Coffee Compass
The Coffee Compass is a simple tool that makes it easy to improve your filter coffee brewing. If your coffee tastes anything less than perfect, the Coffee Compass shows you exactly what direction you need to go in to achieve smooth, rich, and balanced brews.
Barista Hustle published the original Coffee Compass in 2017, and it has been used by tens of thousands of readers since then. The company recently published a Coffee Compass App. The app takes the guesswork out of dialing in, and makes it easier than ever before to perfect your filter coffee brewing. You should check it out.

Coffee Taster’s Flavor Wheel: How To Guide
The Coffee Tasters Flavor Wheel, a collaborative effort by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and World Coffee Research, is designed to be a tool for the coffee taster. As a tool, it is meant to be intuitive, enjoyable to use, and a benefit to those who seek to analyze and describe coffees.
At Normal Coffee, all of our team members use this wheel. It's the standard of learning about fresh roasted coffee beans, grind styles and flavors. We also offer this wheel as a free digital download or poster size.
