Coffee question: How would I recreate the smell of coffee brewing, short of actually brewing coffee that won't get consumed? I have a Bunn, and a couple of older style coffee pots...

How would I recreate the smell of coffee brewing, short of actually brewing coffee that won't get consumed?
I have a Bunn, and a couple of older style coffee pots, plus a can of Cains coffee.
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love the smell.
Is there a hack to create the smell, and make the can (maybe two pounds left) last for an extended length of time?

Just brew a little bit rather than a whole pot.

go to a local coffee roaster and buy some fresh roasted beans and put them in a plastic bag squeeze any air out and seal it. When you open the bag it will blow your mind with the coffee smell.

They make candles with coffee smell to them. Try that.

I think it's Yankee Candle that makes several different coffee scented candles, and I'm sure there are others. My wife is really into candles and I know she has at least one in her collection.

I wonder if you could brew up a pot of very strong coffee and then pour the cooled coffee into a pump spray-mist bottle? Kind of like your own air freshener using real brewed coffee!

Maybe if you tried a different brand you could learn to enjoy drinking it!

Not sure if it would work, but how about a small amount of the grinds with a bit of H2O in a potpourri burner............

lol, I had to make coffee at school every morning(I was the first one at work) and I have never tasted coffee, and I do not like the smell of it either. I would make it as fast as I could and close the door to the lounge. I guess you should have had my morning job. lol

Couple of tbsp in a pot of water and boil on stove for a bit. Used to use that with cinnamon when selling a house.
