Wetting myself here

Haha!

I sometimes get a stock/umami kind of smell from smelling the grounds. A bit like minestrone soup!

we had a kenyan at work which when ground smelt like tomato sauce from a pizza.

but i rarely get "meaty", not from fresh roasted nor fresh ground

I haven't experienced the "meaty" smell after roasting but am always intrigued by the smell just at the start of a roast. Always reminds me of those blue schoolgirls' knickers drying on a radiator.......could be just me of course.

Tomato soup I remember some one finding once,. I get meaty sometimes of some of the Swiss water decafs, and some naturals sometimes, I don't think its a strange one to ge.t

I love these threads that suddenly appear from the Twilight Zone, weird smells and wet knickers. Remind me never to shake hands with George.

Bacon! I remember a distinctive bacon from one coffee!

I quite often find smoky bacon crisps in Old Brown Java aroma and taste.

There is nothing as delicious as bacon to be found in an OBJ!

Smoky bacon CRISPS read the small print

*remains skeptical*

I don't remember which bean, but it was a pig to roast!

I'll get me coat...
