    Youll need to stop claiming to only have four tastebuds!

    Dan, yeah, I think you said marmite actually, but on the same day you also tasted coffee that you said was like licking a pencil, and another one that smelt like lipsmackers!
    So what are you trying to say?! ;D ;D ;D

    No, only coffee smelt weird. Still does a bit, but at least it kinda tastes normal again.

    I dont know about whether pseudoephedrine causes promite smells, but whatever youre taking it for certainly could.
    Blame it all on Descartes--he said we were a separate mind and body, and he got it wrong! We are a single organism and whatever affects us, affects us.

    The one shot I pulled of the Rwandan was all promite - couldnt get the taste out of my mouth no matter what I did. Although Ive also had an awful metallic taste in my mouth since this flu started, so that probably wont help anyway.
    Um -- sortof puzzled here -- if youve got the flu + a horrible metallic taste, surely everything is going to taste (and possibly smell) like crap?

    I cant touch coffee when Ive got the flu -- it just tastes horrible. I know Im getting better when it makes it onto the "things I could possibly contemplate" list!

    I think its me, cuz some beans I was given on Saturday roasted by a pro about 100 km away from where I roast also smell like freakin promite!
    Remember I smelt that promite smell in one of those beans that day? Thought i was going nuts right

    Dont worry we can keep a secret

    My wife also went off coffee when she was pregnant that is how we knew for the second child.

    I had the coffee all to myself for 9 months [smiley=evil.gif]

    They say pregnancy causes increased sensory perception ??

    Hmm, I knew I was pregnant with my younger one when I woke up one morning and though "I hate the smell of coffee". This isnt increased perception, its some weird distortion of smell.

    However, no, I dont believe #3 will be joining us just yet. Goodness, what a public place to have such a discussion :-[

    ... but seemingly distorts vision. My wife drove up the back of a truck when she learned she was carrying twin boys Them hormone changes sure change the moods & synaptic functions.

    hmmm, what are you suggesting to Michelle, KK?

    Nah, theyre new bags. I cant smell anything around my roaster/cooler. The Malawi beans Im doing today dont really smell at all.

    I think its me, cuz some beans I was given on Saturday roasted by a pro about 100 km away from where I roast also smell like freakin promite!

    This weird smell illness better not last!

    I guess it makes your cupping notes easy...

    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"
    "smells like promite, tastes like promite"

    Pretend your a bloodhound and start sniffing the trail...

    Have a sniff around your roaster and cooler to see if you have introduced the smell there. Might be something burning in the roaster?

    The other thought is the bags... recycled? Are they really clean or could some oils have left the odour? I could see rancid coffee oils smelling like promite.
