I hope it's not too naive, but...I've often wondered what the state of one's mouth or palate has to do with the sensory perception of coffee. How are other people out there cleansing their palates in order to have a relatively objective experience of coffee tasting or cupping? I've found that a few sips of rooibis tea seems to give me a more positive experience of the coffee I'm cupping at the moment. Also, could it be true that on some days our palate can be "corrupted" or compromised, so as to influence an unfair perception of coffee? I'll give some examples of what I think may corrupt us: binge drinking, dehydration, a full stomach, a foul mood, too much coffee already imbibed, kissing your sister etc.. Okay, the last example was tongue and cheek. But seriously, I would really like to know what others think on this matter. THANKS!

Coffee shouldn't be a morning thing or an afternoon thing, but an anytime thing. I drink it whenever I am craving for it.

Taste itself is a very subjective experience - I've had tastings where we're all tasting slightly different variances in the same coffee, and one tasting (I think it was a Java dark roast, don't quote me though) where everyone had such distinct experiences from it I started to wonder if someone had sabotaged my brewing equipment. So to take from that, what you as someone who roasts, tastes and brews x shots a day will taste in a cup might be completely different from what your enthusiastic, one-latte-a-day customer will taste in it. So how do you plant a coffee that you're enthusiastic about in a person's mind? Connect it with an experience. You mention people avoiding ideas from the big chains like the plague, and one idea I've seen under-used is food pairings - there's nothing like a carefully chosen coffee to go with well-developed food. And there's definitely coffees that work best at certain times of the day - I couldn't face the idea of something like an Indonesian coffee first thing in the morning, and my favourite first thing coffee (Kenyan produce this week) would horrify me in the afternoon. Oh, and Lunchtime? I like a nice macchiato. I think the reason they’re looking for that information (from your tasting), is that’s the best way to connect a coffee in a reader’s mind.

The condition of morning atmosphere and lot of activities whole day make them to find an alternative for freshing their body and mind. Most of them do it for same reason, fresh. But, there is also another factor for reason like deep hypnotic, I mean something like deep affirmation that "drinking coffee in the morning make me fresh". And about the ritual, I don't agree with it. But, if you say that it's an addiction, well, it's right
