Why is it exciting to burst the seal on a new jar of coffee?
Oh that lovely smell from a newly opened jar of coffee.....
Answers:
The air space contains the most elusive flavor - that unmistakable aroma that appeals to even non-coffee drinkers.
Subsequent breaths usually get that overpowering smell that is of course, coffee, but lacks that subtle tone that the first seal breaking produces.
Incidentally, when coffee is brewed, it is not the aroma of the actual liquid (as experienced on tasting it) as it is the smell in the vapor that draws people to coffee houses.
