Great intro! I went on coffee tastings and tours in Seattle last time I visited and the head to head comparison between brews was a great way to train my pallet on the different flavor profiles. Treating it much like wine tasting has been a very enjoyable experience, so far. My wife is a sommelier, so that approach has come naturally.

Anyone have recommended books on coffee tasting? I read the history book, 'uncommon grounds' but it didn't really scratch my itch...
