my favourite manmade aroma
A friend of the concrete ceilings of the office building.
A guest to that uncle with the polo shirt and the cargo shorts, who sits at the porch with his friends on little plastic chairs as they discuss automobiles.
A companion to that student who comes home from her errands to work on her dissertation on the role bumblebees play on butterflies' reading habits.
A less-than-welcome acquaintance to those who've experienced bodily malfunctions after drinking much of it.
...okay, i think it would be inaccurate to call coffee itself a creation of man (after all, coffea plants existed before humans cultivated them), however the processing of it which generates that smell could be classified as something man-made.
Coffee can be defined as a globally renowned commodity crop often used in the flavoring of products, most commonly beverages.
The word "coffee" may also refer to the flavored beverage itself.
Not all beverages with coffee in them are called "coffee", however: small amounts of coffee may be used as an accent flavor in a chocolate milkshake.
To prevent a mess, coffee (in its solid form) is often packed in sacks, in jars, in packets, in pods, and in other containers.
Once it's nice and snug in a drinking apparatus, coffee (the aqueous solution) is often seen together with tin can biscuits, a laptop, a book, a newspaper, and/or other little trinkets.
Through the infusion of hot water with miniscule coffee particles, volatile particles are released. They float through the air and make contact with our receptors.
As a result, the smell of coffee is perceived.
I enjoy it when this happens; i find the scent energizing. I also find delight in watching people brew and enjoy a cup of coffee, whether it'd be through my surroundings or through my screen.
As for actual drinking, though, i prefer tea.
