    The problem is that they mistaken
    "fresh roasted coffee bean" smell with "fresh brewed coffee" smell

    Why do they even bother? Just turn that darn machine off and remove the horrible smell from DCA's entry.

    If there was a way to pump in a clean, ocean-breeze smell to go with the wave thingy in the Sunshine Plaza, I'd love that! As it is, I love sitting there and just watching... so relaxing. I want it for our backyard. :)
