Cuppin'
Grilled pineapple in specialty coffee presents as a bright, caramelized tropical fruit note with subtle char undertones, often accompanied by a juicy sweetness and slight smokiness. This flavor is commonly found in coffees from Central America and East Africa, particularly those processed with natural or honey methods that concentrate fruit sugars, and is often enhanced by medium to medium-dark roasts that caramelize the fruit compounds. The grilled aspect brings toasty, almost charred complexity that distinguishes it from fresh pineapple notes, creating a more sophisticated, dessert-like profile.
