The twelve-month study included periodic tests of flavors and aromas to determine when the first major quality decline occurred compared to traditional methods of preserving freshness. The parties found that one SKU remained constantly fresh to taste for 120 days, while another SKU lasted 180 days before the taste qualities of the cool apices were lost.

The Department of Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, England, has published other scientific news, where Dr. Lorenzo Stafford, an olfactory expert, published this week a study that indicates that coffee drinkers do not recognize not only smell of coffee faster than non-drinkers, they feel it more strongly. ZME Science had more:

The team explains that drug signals (such as the smell of an alcoholic beverage) can trigger cravings among users. However, the team wanted to check if the relationship was working in the opposite direction: whether or not heavy drinkers could better perceive and react to the smell of coffee. Their study is the first to show that this is true, at least with weakly addictive drugs such as coffee. The more we want this mug of warm goodness, the better we sniff it wherever it hides. The results suggest that heavy coffee drinkers were more sensitive to the smell of coffee and that this smell was related to their cravings.

Customers could buy whole grain coffee and redeem coupons for merchandise or a percentage of their purchase. The stores were a resounding success and, says Saurage, forerunner of today's coffee shops.
