A new adjective for your lists...

Well, ive just opened up my bag of Brazil Jaboticabas - Jose Ribas CoE.... im confident the beans smell exactly like baxters 'hearty vegetable broth" soup!

Amazing as espresso though - like drinking bitumen

One to avoid then, unless you need to resurface a drive!

hmmmm, not sure I got that with my last order of Jaboticabas ...... you sure your other half isnt using your grinder to make soup with ???

I've noticed this 'broth'-smell on a few occasions now with different coffees, both homeroasted and professionally. Does it have any special meaning or cause? The coffee's turned out mostly nice after aging a few days.

Result! Not just me then! I just shoved my nose in the bag as soon as i opened it and got hit with this strangely familiar broth-esque odour

Actually i say baxters, might've been weight watchers

I find that the perception of smell of one coffee is in a big way influenced by what you smelled right before it. When we cupped crappy supermarket brand preground coffee next to CoEs freshly roasted, the latter at first smelled like dried fish!

After smelling a couple of different CoEs and then going back to the pregrounds they smelled like sawdust...

I think it has to do with the strenght of the odor. I'm not saying that this is why the Brazil smelled like broth, just adding a strange-smell-story I guess.

Phil, why in heaven's name do you know what anything from weight watchers smells like? Son, you had better be careful! Anorexia kills!

Funny you should say that - the other week i had a shot directly after having a cup of tea, and the shot tasted remarkably like fish

Haha, that would be my dad buying the weight watchers soup Quite nice though
