Technically it does smell like coffee but it is more of the sweet smell of milk steamed and syrups. I manage a coffee shop. I smell coffee in to go cups all day intentionally. Coffee, espresso, Americanos, yes. Steamed milk for a traditional cappuccino no. The condensed milk foam blocks the smell. So 🤷‍♂️

Is she really saying you can’t smell coffee when you add milk? That’s completely untrue. And his face looked crushed because he’s not trying to be rude. You can absolutely still smell coffee when you add everything to it and I agree. I love smelling my coffee the rare times I have it.

[@houdini5538]

It's true the smell isn't as strong

[@lnspector]

You're wrong. Try to compare the smell of black coffee with coffee mixed with milk. One will smell strong and another won't smell at all!

[@feralferret]

It is true that the attractive coffee aroma almost exclusively comes from the initial grinding process. You don't get that same smell from an americano/long-black, let alone a cappuccino or latte. Certainly you get the taste of coffee when you drink it, which the nose can then smell, but not the other way around. With a cappuccino, the thing you can smell first is the dusted chocolate and the sweetness of the milk, as that's what's on top. With Americano, where no milk is used, you might get an almost slightly 'burnt' coffee smell. You may be confused with the fact that you've bought and/or may be drinking it in a coffee shop, where the ambient smell is coffee beans being ground on the premises.

[@d4rksol123]

She isnt saying coffee with milk added in is odorless. She is saying the main coffee bean fragrance gets reduced / altered substantially. Most people who are used to the coffee smell and enjoy it, would not care for it as much when taking their coffee with milk. This is primarily what she is talking about. People who are used to always drinking coffee with milk obviously would still like the smell .. mainly because of the association with the taste. The smell of a sear on a fish for example is very pleasant and mouth watering for people who love to eat fish, but is pungent and putrid for say someone who grew up a vegetarian.. its about the association with taste.

Yeah, but only to a certain point. It's not like a water bottle that you can throw around and it will never spill.

"He's an inventor, he needs a little push" His "invention" is to poke a hole in a plastic lid. I poked two holes at either end of the foil cover on my yoghurt drink instead of one so that the drink will flow out faster but not spill. Give me money plez.

[@Racing_Fox413]

The difference between him and other plebs is he managed to make money out of a simple idea. You didn’t

[@NGMonocrom]

It's a great idea. But no real money in it. As Debra mentioned, anyone can come along and bypass the patent with a couple of minor changes.

I noticed the girl who can't smell coffee through milk just asks dumbass questions to every person that comes in the den.

[@JonnyCheeseMan]

Touker’s reaction when they said smell your coffee right at the start is priceless

[@catladykelsea8832]

I am a big coffee drinker. Also very busy & usually running out the door. I have spilt coffee just by slide lids being open while I am getting into my car. I feel like it would spill out of that big of an opening given to harsh of a step or stumble.

[@KhenpoDub]

Let's be honest: Anybody who drinks coffee from a plastic cup and a foam tap, don't really care about the taste of coffee.

For everyone slagging off Sarah, don’t be kidding yourself a milky latte smells just as strong as a newly roasted black coffee, it doesn’t 😂

Of course it doesn't, but it still has a strong aroma even with milk. We ain't speaking of tea hear

How does someone with the lesser percentage tell the Owner what to do. He has to be BUMMING him.

[@YYmmmYY]

He's the businessman, the other guy is the inventor

[@nakkadu]

Bumming 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think he's just a controlling sociopath. Has that vibe.

[@tedcrilly46]

The secret is his patented hole.

[@johnsweeney6072]

Ted Crilly love it. Whoops shouldn’t have said that should I haha the patent only lasts as long as his balloon knot. 🇦🇺😁

I am thinking of pitching to the Dragons a guitar amplifier that goes up to 11, instead of 10.

[@alexturlais8558]

"Please give me money for my business... by the way you'll only own the British bit of the business, and you'll have to pay me to buy the lids, and you won't own the patent." Honestly is there anything stopping them from waiting a few years, stop selling lids to the British business, and selling them directly to the UK? at that point they'll have used up all of the Dragons money on marketing and building a brand, and wont have to give them any of the profits.

Personally I am a slow drinker and I prefer to keep my tea and coffee warm longer. Having more openings, just means more surface area to cool down the drink.
