About CFC

Coffee menus are full of words that nobody explains. Washed, natural, anaerobic. SL28, Geisha, Pacamara. Light-medium roast with notes of blackcurrant and tomato — what does that actually taste like, and is it what you want in your cup?

CFC exists to answer that. Every coffee here is catalogued the way a wine reference catalogues a bottle: where it grew, how it was processed, how it was roasted, and what it actually tastes like on four axes — acidity, body, sweetness and bitterness. Flavour notes are colour-coded against the SCA Coffee Taster's Flavor Wheel so you can start recognising patterns rather than memorising jargon.

Made for curiosity

The point is to help you name what you like and find more of it. When a coffee here sounds like your kind of cup, take the details with you and seek it out from a roaster you trust.

A growing reference

CFC is built around documented, publicly sourced coffee data — origins, varieties, processing methods and tasting notes. It does not claim to cover every coffee in the world, but it does try to make the ones it includes easier to read and compare. If you are unsure where to start, the discovery quiz narrows the catalog down to a few cups worth exploring.
