The creators like innocent children probably didn’t think of it in the way others would. I see double implications in many of today’s ads although some of today’s ads are probably intentional. The ads shown in above link were funny. FYI Coffee started off as non pre-ground and when pre-ground coffee in a can came around it was considered for the elite coffee drinkers. Now it has turn around where the “elites” drinkers ground their own coffee. Although I would agree freshly ground coffee taste better but part of that is the wider choice of beans.

I'm sure it was a gimmick for a new can or packaging method that would let you take a whiff. Apparently the poor gal forgot to whiff.
