As a coffee roaster, can I deduct purchases of coffee from other companies and cafes when doing research for how to roast a particular bean?

I'm just curious how certain deductions work when it comes to doing research for the job and how much it extends to what I do. I know I can already deduct costs to educational information about my job, but I wasn't entirely sure about coffee since it sounds like a lot of people already try to do this, but they don't necessarily work in the coffee industry.
