☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I'm no expert and definitely don't have the most refined palate, but from what I've heard and experienced, comparative tasting is the best way to start to dig into and understand flavor.
For me, sweetness is a big one here. Since coffee isn't as sweet as a lot of other stuff we eat, having other coffees to benchmark against with more or less sweetness will help make it more noticeable.
Which i have done, and have tasted difference between two or three cups. But like I mentioned in my other comment, I might have experienced it in notes as vanilla or chocolate (which I personally associate to sweet) but I simply didn't know that what it was called sweet.
