Would it be posible to make a taste spectrum? We can only taste a certain number of elements like salty, sweet, etc. If a machine was built that held bags of each element what every it was that represented salty, sweet, etc and spray it into your mouth in different porportions, I wonder if somewhere along that spectrum you would taste things like beans, coffee, roast.

Maybe... there's 5 main sections of taste. Salty, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Ummamy (I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right, it's from a Japanese word meaning Savory). So it's possible that they could do what your talking about.

This is like my question about color. Does everyone see color the same? There's no way to tell because you can't look through someone elses eyes just like you can't taste with someone elses mouth.
