What is the coffee defect starter kit?

The FlavorActiV Coffee Defects Starter Kit is a professional sensory training tool that teaches you to identify the six most common coffee flavour defects. Using pharmaceutical-grade GMP flavour standards aligned with the World Coffee Research (WCR) Sensory Lexicon 2.0, the kit provides a scientifically validated, repeatable method for palate training, QC calibration, and barista education.

What defects does it cover?

The kit covers six defect types, each represented by the specific chemical compound responsible for that flavour in coffee. Every defect maps directly to the WCR Sensory Lexicon 2.0, ensuring your training is language-consistent with international cupping standards.

Understanding the underlying compound helps sensory panellists not only identify a defect but also trace it back to its root cause, whether a processing fault, storage issue, or agricultural problem at origin.
