Wake Up and Smell the Nauseating Coffee 66
jacobjyu writes "The NY Times is running a story about a coffee roasting plant being accused of polluting the air. The city inspector claims the smells are making people sick, however the plant owner retorts, 'This is not a smell that makes people sick ... This is one of those sweet smells like cut flowers, like fresh-baked bread, that's part and parcel of life in every city across the world.' Whatever the case, some people are claiming plastic-smelling fumes coming from the stacks: my only question is what the heck are they putting in this coffee??"

I can't say I mind much, but there is a difference between the smell of roasted coffee and the smell of a roasting plant at work.
Very strangely, one roaster [espressovivace.com] is kitty-corner from a crematorium [bonneywatson.com]. It may or may not surprise you that burned Seattleites smell a lot like roasted coffee.
