Removing coffee odour

I have storage cans for tea, coffee and sugar. On April Fools Day last year, my DS (bless him! Grrr) decided it would be a nice joke to swap the contents around. Of course I discovered it a few hours late and sorted it out. BUT, even though the coffee was only in the sugar tin for a short while, and the tin was washed at the time and has been washed numerous times since, I cannot get the coffee smell out of it. Weird, huh?

Any ideas?

baking soda, maybe?

Have you tried scrubbing it out with a baking soda paste?

Or you could just give up and store coffee in it. Smiling

No, haven't tried that, would that be okay to try on metal, d'you think?

I don't want to store coffee in it as it says 'sugar' on the side! Besides, the 'coffee' one has coffee in it, too!
