So should there not be any hints of broccoli in coffee then? We've spent three years working toward 'floret' tones in our shots!

Broccoli is pretty close to being a cauliflower which in turn is pretty close to being a flower. This describes the constant floral notes people refer to in the aroma of coffee. It's just broccoli!

It'll eat away your brains and make you think that the coffee you subsequently make and drink tastes like broccoli (which the valve has made you think you like.)! It's a conspiracy really!

Clearly you've been bag sniffing lately

Never touch the stuff... I stick to sucking on the tube flushing the bags with nitrogen. It's only slightly off-putting when the tongue gets stuck as the vacuum gets sucked out.

I also have to confess to the sniffing habit.

I posted here about it once.

While catching a bag valve whiff at a store I squeezed a bit too hard and blew out the bottom of the bag. :oops:

I have not stopped the habit but am a bit more careful.
