Why does coffee never taste as good as
it smells? For many, the scent of freshly brewed coffee is the first highlight of the day. Now, scientists claim to have solved the mystery of why it never tastes as good as it smells.

I've almost always had that experience with BBQ. Doesn't matter where or what style. Always ever so slightly disappointing.
Very sad. - 9/12/12, 12:32 PM

My coffee always tastes as good as it smells. Maybe they're doing it wrong?

'Cause when you actually drink the coffee, you're awake.
Srsly, I attribute it to the unavoidable bitter.
Don't think you can smell bitter. Dunno. I can't, anyway.
I fix the bitter with a dash of salt. Never fails to get rid of it.
It's particularly useful with institutional or diner coffee.
Dunno how they're gonna get the stink out'a the White House, though. - 9/12/12, 1:10 PM

Many now recognize five taste groups: sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami which is a Japanese term for the savory flavor of foods such as soy sauce and mushrooms. I like them all which is why I drink my coffee black without sugar.
As long as it is not burnt in the roasting or brewing, the bitterness of a dark roast makes coffee better.

If they knew the correct way to taste coffee, they'd know your first sip is right after a shot of good bourbon.
When you follow the correct procedure, you coffee tastes exactly like it smells. - 9/12/12, 3:21 PM

A metaphorical excursion, I know, but practically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the bitter/burnt taste of coffee that generous amendments of cream, sugar, cocoa, and liquor can't fix.
As for Barry 40-O, the stink from Trinity United was rising a year before he was even nominated. - 9/12/12, 3:54 PM

I like my coffee like I like my women: milky and sweet.
You thought I was going to say something else, didn't you? - 9/13/12, 8:32 AM

Use Illy -- tastes even better than it smells.
Which never precludes judicious additions of Irish and clouds of whipped cream. - 9/14/12, 12:42 PM
