WHAT IS the COFFEE finish?

When talking about coffee, "finish" refers to the aftertaste or lingering sensations that a coffee leaves in the mouth after it is consumed. It's the final impression that a coffee leaves on the palate after it has been swallowed. A coffee's finish can be described as short, medium or long. A short finish is when the coffee's flavor dissipates quickly after swallowing, a medium finish is when the coffee's flavor lingers for a moderate amount of time and a long finish is when the coffee's flavor lingers for an extended period of time.

A coffee with a good finish is one that leaves a pleasant and satisfying aftertaste, and it can be described as clean, smooth and free of any unwanted flavors. The finish can be affected by the coffee's origin, roast or blend, but also by the brewing method, the water quality and the serving temperature.

It's worth noting that the concept of finish is somewhat subjective and can vary from person to person, and it's also related to the personal taste preferences. Some people might prefer a coffee with a short finish, that allows them to enjoy different coffees in a row, while others might prefer a coffee with a longer finish, that allows them to appreciate the coffee's complexity.
