Field notes
The catalogue separates coffee by origin, processing method, brew recommendation and flavour language, with examples ranging from Colombia and Ethiopia to anaerobic and honey-process lots. Its price section gives process-specific ranges, medians and sample sizes, while the replacement finder shows suggested alternatives for named coffees. The site says flavour notes are grouped by AI from roasters’ own descriptions, not produced by its own tasting.
