FlavorActiv 24 Sensory Reference Points

As a foundational piece of the SCA’s revised Coffee Taster’s Flavor
Wheel, the Lexicon has just been updated to version 2.0, including 24 new
reference standards developed by the UK-based FlavorActiv specifically
for coffee analysis. In conjunction with the Lexicon re-release, FlavorActiv
has co-developed GMP pharmaceutical-grade flavor capsules for each of
the 24 reference points along with Vermont-based Coffee Enterprises, with
assistance from London’s Square Mile Coffee Roasters.
WCR said it has crossed-checked each of the references to align with
the expanded Lexicon, and the global availability of the flavor capsules , pro-
ceeds from which will fund additional WCR sensory research, will comple-
ment existing standards in the Lexicon. Most of those are independently
avaailable through grocery stores. (For example, Oregon-brand canned
blueberries are the reference point for blueberry.)

which is undisturbed by uneven surface tension where the filter
touches its support, thereby making proper use of the entire filtering
surface. The ultimate result is a more complex, less bitter brew than
that produced by classic manual pour over brewers, and fewer non-
soluble particles in the cup.
The brewer is made entirely of satin/gloss medical-grade stain-
less steel, CNC cut, then manually machined, welded and polished by
hand. That said, no two pieces are strictly identical and a very close
look might just reveal the unique character of your IIKONE brewer
beyond its serial number.
