Coffee Visual Curve
🎯 Purpose: This graph is a visual translation layer for conveying the feeling of flavour in coffee. Inspired by photography’s histogram, equalizer curves, and tasting structure diagrams, it offers a unique visual language to map and compare sensory structure.
🧠How to use: Adjust the sliders below to shape the intensity of each sensory component. Your curve reflects the perceived sensory profile. The grey dashed line is a balanced reference baseline that cannot be edited. Try out the distinction logic as well by switching versions!
📊 What is the Coffee Visual Curve?
The Coffee Visual Curve (CVC) is a visual tool to describe how a coffee evolves across key sensory categories. Inspired by photography’s histograms and audio EQ curves, it helps us express flavour in a way that translates feeling into form.
From acidity to body, finish and aftertaste, this curve helps you map the intensity and harmony of a coffee’s expression. Each curve is a fingerprint — a story about how a coffee lives on your palate.
🧪 How to Use the Tool
- 🎯 Adjust the sliders or input boxes to shape the curve.
- 📋 Load a preset from known coffees for reference or inspiration.
