I hadn’t thought about the comparisons to frying pans and salad bowls, but it absolutely applies here. As far as coffee smell goes, I can be in my bedroom and my wife will open a fresh bag of coffee in the kitchen… and it’s heaven. I can smell it all the way down the hall.
Here are a couple tidbits of info that surprised this American when I moved here. Lots of people don’t have jobs and are too proud to beg. So they will get 2 or 3 thermos’s and a tube of plastic shot glasses. The will make their living walking down the streets selling shots of coffee for 200 pesos, or about 6¢. The street venders are everywhere. It’s hot coffee, and people will sip at it for a long time the way we would drink a cup of coffee in the states. Restaurants sell coffee in tiny little cups. When I ask for a normal full cup of coffee, they look at me like I’m from Mars. Juan Valdez coffee shops are popular down here in the tourist areas. Coffee seems to be more of a treat to the people here, or so it seems to me.
