Today is the subject: color. With color, we can perceive a lot of information about the coffee we drink. But how do we read those colors and what machine or way of measuring is good or even the best? That is where Kees Kraakman will help us out in today's episode. Kees Kraakman, a proud Dutchie, has his own roastery, owned multiple micro-roasteries and even has ties to Willem Boot as a student.

In today's episode, we are talking all about the sweet spot with Morten Münchow, a coffee-tech engineer at CoffeeMind. The sweet spot is where you get the exact flavour and taste out of your coffee that you think it's best. Coffee has been around already since the 15th century and many things have changed along the way. How do we perceive fruitiness? Or should we use a different system of measuring flavor? These are the questions that our guest Morten likes to discuss with Filip.
