How do I use and update the flavour wheel?

Description

Coffee Rambler builds your palate map from flavours you log in diary entries. As you add more tasting notes, the wheel grows, your category coverage improves, and recurring descriptors become clearer.

How to add flavours to your wheel

1. Go to your brew diary and log a tasting entry for each coffee session.
2. Include clear flavour descriptors in your notes (for example fruit, chocolate, floral, spice, or nutty).
3. Save entries consistently over time so recurring descriptors can be detected more reliably.
4. Return to Palate to see total flavours found, your top flavour, and your latest flavour discovery.
5. If a descriptor appears in Other, refine your wording in future notes for better category matching.

How wheel reading and categories work

1. The wheel visualises flavour descriptors grouped by category colour.
2. Each descriptor count shows how often that flavour has appeared in your logged notes.
3. The category counter shows how many flavour groups you have covered so far (e.g., 4 of 10).
4. Use the All identified flavours list under the wheel to scan descriptors by category and compare strengths quickly.
5. Use Expand and zoom controls when you want a larger view for detailed flavour segment inspection.

How sharing your flavour wheel works

1. Tap Share my palate on the Palate page.
2. The app generates and downloads a branded image snapshot of your wheel automatically.
3. On supported mobile devices, a native share sheet may also open so you can post or send the image directly.
4. The shared image includes your flavour count, helping you showcase progress over time.
