The Le Nez Du Café collection includes the most typical aromas found in the world's top coffees. Aromas and aroma identification are essential to the quality of a product; it is important to be able to recognize them in order to master tasting.
-- blurb on Espresso Parts website
Espresso Parts has Le Nez Du Cafe complete kits of 36 smells for $299, which seems a little steep for a roadshow of reasonable size. They also have the replacement bottles sold individually for $8 each. Looking at the list of schmells leads me to believe that we might be able to make an interesting subset of 10 or so that would make a cool roadshow.
So here is my proposed schmell list, open to comment:
- #3, Garden Peas
- #6, Cedar
- #9, Coriander Seed
- #11, Tea-rose/ Redcurrant Jelly
- #14, Blackcurrant-like
- #17, Apple
- #19, Honeyed
- #21, Basmati Rice
- #23, Malt
- #29, Roasted Hazelnuts
the entire list of 36 samples is here:

The cost ended up as $80 divided by the 7 of us for $11.43 each. Please include your member name and the word roadshow somewhere in the paypal title. I will take care of the paypal fees, or you can select gift payment to save me the 34 cents.
Good luck smellers!
