coffee aroma

Roasted bean fragrance

Coffee aroma is the smell of coffee, particularly the complex fragrance released during brewing.

The term appears in coffee culture and marketing to emphasize scent as central to the coffee experience: The coffee aroma filled the kitchen.

Professional tasters distinguish aroma (smell from brewed coffee) from fragrance (smell from dry grounds).
