My nose knows nothing...

Just picked up a box of these...

Funny how you recognise many of the scents but can't put a name to it!  I managed to improve a bit with practice though.

How cool is that scent kit I remember using one when I took a cupping course KK

Awesome "Le Nez de Cafe revelation kit" would love to have this set but $520 AUD is the cheapest over here.

$299 from Espressoparts or Winearomas in the US....  Still fairly expensive though IMHO, but a great training tool.

how does it work?

Just sniff the bottle and guess the aroma, before checking the book to see if you are correct...

C-man

are they aromas relating to coffee?

bottle sniffing.........

Ive conducted tastings using everything from pine needles to dirt to pineapples, and roasted strawberries before - to compare and contrast certain flavours that I find in the cup!

Yep, I've been running back and forth to the kitchen to check the real aroma of some items as compared to the bottle. I've been finding that when a particular scent doesn't seem right, when comparing to the genuine article it's usually just the degree of intensity that has thrown me.  In other words,  sometimes the bottled scent is only a fraction as intense as what you recall from smelling the real thing.... I swear sometimes I also pick up the smell of alcohol as well.  Don't ask me why I seem be so accomplished at identifying that particular aroma....
