Where a coffee taster can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a coffee taster already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Coffee tasters taste coffee samples in order to evaluate the features of the product or to prepare blending formulas. They determine the product's grade, estimate its market value, and explore how these products may appeal to different consumer tastes. They write blending formulas for workers who prepare coffee products for commercial purposes.
