Coffee Taste Test

Ever being this conspiracy theorist, I have this new theory that Nespresso does not in fact have different coffee flavors, they just put them in different colored capsules and make you think they're different. And if they aren't different, the whole wine-esque descriptions of the coffee tasting like "peach mountain rainbows on a potato sack race weekend" was getting a little out of control.

So to put my theory to the test (and to improve our tasting skills), Jamie and I did a blind taste test of three coffee flavors. We got about 66% right, but I think we were guessing. We need to continue the project until we can taste all the coffees - should take awhile.
