The Problem With the Textbook View of How Things Work
The textbook view of how things work is that every receptor subtype is responsive to a small subset of different molecular shapes, what sometimes refer to as ototopes.

If you can take a snapshot of that, theoretically you would have the map of coffee and so on and so forth. This is sort of the textbook view ofhow the system works.
