I’m sort of the opposite of Clayton. I think coffee smells wonderful, but can’t stand the taste of it.

Beetle dung…secret ingredient in Snefaputi bean plant food.

How about spending time with your infant son, instead of waxing poetic on a coffee bean??

Hahahaha!

It gets it taste and aroma the same way as the “Kopi luwak” Bean

Adam and I are very different here, I dont like favored coffee and any old coffee smells good to me

My Nuclear Coffee is expensive enough to make without adding in the cost of special beans

Dog poop smells worse.

Probably an ordinary bean that some scammer has been hyping for the rubes.

Coffee takes some getting used to. Sort of like whiskey, but without all the falling down.

aahhhh. nothing like the smell of fresh brewed coffee

“You do you”? Is that the same as “you be you”?

I often get unusual scents off of fresh ground coffee. Once it’s brewed, it just smells of generic “coffee” to me. I have to drink mostly decaffeinated and the decaffeination process (there are several ways to do it) tends to destroy more subtle odors and flavors. One of the “holy grails” of agricultural research is to breed a coffee plant that has no caffeine but retains every other characteristic. So far, not much luck

Clayton’s probably not the right person to rate the coffee. Coffee is an acquired taste, and some people never acquire it. I know I didn’t care for it at his age, but I definitely acquired the taste later.

Kopi luwak:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak

The very highly priced Kopi luwak is made from coffee beans plucked from civets’ feces.

That is Adam’s life motto Clayton, “you do you”

We’re not gourmets but we make really good coffee using Sumatra and Costa Rica from World Market, a French press and an electric tea kettle which heats the water to 200 degrees F.

Unlike Adam, I’ve never been able to detect all those “notes” that people claim to smell in wine, coffee, etc. — but with a nose like his, I’m not surprised.
