| Oaxaca | Oaxaca | Oaxaca | A regional market name for coffee cultivated in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.

It is most commonly associated with errors during the wet processing method, specifically over-fermentation or the use of stagnant, contaminated water in the fermentation tanks or washing channels. | Sensory |
| Overdeveloped | Überentwickelt | Fazla Kavrulmuş | A roasting defect that occurs when coffee beans are subjected to heat for too long, particularly during the development phase following the first crack. This excessive cellular breakdown eradicates the bean's unique origin characteristics, acidity, and complexity, resulting in a flat, hollow, or overly roasty flavor profile often accompanied by bitter or ashy notes. | Roasting |
| Overextracted | Überextraktion | Fazla Çözünmüş | A brewing defect that occurs when an excessive amount of soluble compounds is dissolved from the coffee grounds into the water. This typically results from a grind size that is too fine, a brewing time that is too long, water temperature that is too high, or an incorrect coffee-to-water ratio. The resulting cup profile is characteristically harsh, bitter, and astringent, leaving a dry sensation on the palate that masks the coffee's inherent sweetness and delicate acidity. | Brewing |
