My little coffee log just hit 100 different beans tracked

I started a simple notebook about a year ago, just jotting down the coffee I was drinking. Nothing fancy, just the name, where it was from, and a couple words on taste. I opened it up this morning and realized I'd filled the hundredth line. It was this natural process Ethiopian from a roaster in Seattle. It matters because looking back, I can see my own taste changing. Early on I wrote 'too sour' about some light roasts I now love. It's not about being a pro, it's just this quiet record of my own mornings. Has anyone else kept a log and noticed their own preferences shift over time?

That is SO cool. My little coffee notebook is the same way. I used to write "bitter" next to every dark roast. Now I hunt for those chocolatey, smoky ones on purpose. It's wild to flip back and see your own taste buds learning new tricks. Congrats on hitting a hundred.

Tracking every bean just sounds like turning a simple joy into homework.
