Im not sure if this should go into the roasting section as it does relate to roasting as well as just general individual preferences.
Please excuse some of the language I use, Ive been practising aromatherapy since I was 15 and tend to use the language throughout everything that has different flavours and scents.
I have read that there are beans that need a certain profile but from my understanding so far, there are far more beans that can be roasted to different profiles bringing out different mid to top notes but the base notes stay the same.
If the above is correct does that mean that if you generally like a lighter roasted bean to what another roaster does and you dont really like the general flavour of the coffee that you wont like it even if you roasted it yourself to your preferred profile?
I hope that made some sense
My OH works with some coffeesnobs and they are starting to send through samples of their roasts to me, they have different beans to me so I have nothing to compare them to with my own roasting, hence the question above.
