When you enter your favorite coffee shop and envelop yourself in a comforting aura of roasted beans, are you experiencing the aroma or the fragrance that makes you want to take a sip? Hawaiian Aroma Caffe is well known in Honolulu for that toasty gourmet coffee smell and taste. If you’re wondering how you’ve died and gone to heaven each time you open the cafe door, the Hawaiian Aroma Caffe staff can explain the difference between your favorite bean’s fragrance and aroma in their comparison guide below. 

Coffee Fragrance Vs. Coffee Aroma 

Coffee Fragrance 

Fragrance is defined as the smell of something. Processed only through our nose, the fragrance of coffee grounds refers to the scent that hits you as you walk into the cafe. Like a culinary perfume, any time you open a fresh bag of coffee or smell gourmet beans, you’re indulging in sweet java fragrance. The enjoyment of aroma comes soon after. 

Coffee Aroma 

In contrast to coffee fragrance, coffee aroma incorporates the fragrance of coffee with the taste and mouthfeel of a hot cup. This is because aroma is processed through the nose and the taste buds. When you sip a macchiato or espresso, you’re enjoying the aroma, and the coffee’s distinct aromatic profile makes trying new varieties so exciting. Wine and craft beer enthusiasts, for example, also like their beverages for their aromatic experience. 

Now that you know the difference between coffee fragrance and aroma, you can invite your friends out for a latte and an impressive fact.
