What do you think, what most people think, what is tasting of coffee? There are different tastes. But are they it, or is there more? Why we taste the same coffee in different times and it may seem to us that it tastes different? From where that may come or is it just an illusion?
What i think coffee tasting is – its like a: you know that picture of junkyard and below that picture there is a sentence that says ” find a cat in the picture above”.And then you look, and look and then look more and then you are getting little nervous “how can you not seethea cat, may-be there is no cat at all” and after maybe 5-10 min. you find it. And suddenly it becomes so obvious that there is a cat in this picture. You know exactly where it is and how it looks. But before you did´nt and you almost believed there is no cat.
With the coffee it is same. You may taste the coffee many times and suddenly one day you may discover some tastes or nuances in it that you have never tasted before. Or someone tells you about some certain taste in the cup and after some tasting you discover the taste. The thing is, you did not know to look for the taste. You thought there is nothing more.
So, how you get to that taste?
It is simple. We know that sensing a taste is actually sensing chemical compounds in coffee (there are aprox. 1000 of them in roasted coffee). Your brain receptors get stimulated with chemicals. Impulse is driven to brain and brain brakes the “code” and voila, “chocolate” etc. But why chocolate and then later suddenly nuttiness? How it comes? As coffee has many chemicals in it the sensing of them comes down to in what combination chemicals are deshiphrared by brain or by your attention. You add something and it turns into something else. You remove something and its again becomes something else. It´s like tasting same coffee from different angles. like a sculpture it looks different from different sides but it´s still the same sculpture.
So, when tasting coffee be open to all tastes. Don´t stick to that one cool taste you just found, there is some more cool stuff hidden. Don´t border your self with “knowing” that this particular coffee can not have certain tastes because of blah blah blah… If someone tells there is something particular and you can not find that then know you just look at the sculpture from other side 
Actually there is one thing that mostly influences the taste from day to day – its You, the taster. Its your mood, your physical and emotional state.
