To me the aroma of coffee occurs at different stages of making an awesome cup of joe. It is the smell that swirls upward when I first open a sealed bag of fresh beans. Then it is the wiff I get after I remove the top of the grinder. Finally, it is the fragrance of hot freshly brewed coffee permeating the room as I pour myself a cup. It is one of the principal categories used by professionals to evaluate coffee.
After a little research I found that there is much more to aroma....... it is a science. There are over 800 coffee compounds found in aroma. Over 800 coffee elements interact with the olfactory epithelium. Okay, not going any further. Enough! I want to have fun with coffee as an average "JOE". Tomorrow I will be tasting something very special. Tune in folks.........
