I Miss The Smell Of Coffee Brewing

Living alone I don't need a eight or ten cup coffee maker and instead use the Kurig one cup at a time machine with K Cups. Does a fine job but I sure miss the smell of coffee brewing. Too bad Kurig doesn't take care of that.
 

I also live alone and miss a lot of things, especially a cat. I am not a coffee lover, I do love iced coffee drinks, but they do a number on my stomach. I drink them anyway. I see that you are in central California. My husband and I lived in the Merced area for almost 3 years and spent every week end we could camped in Yosemite.
 
I frequently put a small pot of water and spices (cinnamon, clove, etc) on the stove and keep it at a simmer to make the house smell festive. I'll bet you could throw a spoonful of coffee grounds in a pan and boil it for the aroma. Or how about a coffee-flavored candle?
 

Or...you could get one of those little coffee pots that brews just two or three cups. Black and Decker makes one. Set the auto timer up to brew the coffee so that it will be done when you roll out of bed in the morning. I love waking up in the morning to freshly-brewed coffee. My kitty must like it, too, because the coffee tells him it's time for his breakfast.
 
Hmmm. I'm the coffee drinker here and I go through a brewed pot a day. IF there's a cup left in the pot the next A.M. I heat it in the mike...it's ok by me..
 
I live alone but still manage to use a good "bean-to-cup" machine that makes one or two cups as required.

I use ready roasted, but I believe that you can get machines that will roast the beans as weel
 
the smell of coffee.

I think this may be one of the reasons I don't like the one-cup Kerig coffee maker. I may be too picky. I don't even like the small one person coffee pot. I have a wonderful Caphalon thermos coffee maker. It doesn't do anything else but coffee. My coffee is never bitter, nor too weak. I make 5 cups a morn. It will stay hot for a hour bc of the thermos. This is enough for me to even have a cup in afternoon.
My coffee of choice is 8 o'clock.
 
I understand Procter & Gamble is coming out with a man's underarm spray deodorant that smells like fresh coffee brewing. Only trouble is you have to shower it off before you go to bed otherwise it will keep you awake all night and it's a ploy to get you to buy more.

OMG I just googled it and it's a fact but not P&G it's others, they have bacon scented also. One wonders if you spray bacon under one arm and coffee under the other would they clash? You'd smell like breakfast all day. Better than some offensive ones I've been exposed to.

My wife is a retired realtor. Some realtors put cinnamon and water on the stove for their open houses. Some even bake cookies to create the scent and make the home being shown more "homey".

Our kids gave me a Keurig a couple years ago for Christmas. I used the pods for a while, grumping about the cost. Then, I found one of the Keurig "baskets" that you fill with ground coffee instead of using the sealed pods. That's all I use anymore. It's much less costly and now I get the smell of fresh brewed. Those little baskets cost $10 or $12, but you save that much pretty quickly due to the cost of the pods.
