I mean, almost all coffee that's not freshly ground and brewed in a perfectly clean machine is rancid anyway. I know people who actually associate this taste with coffee itself, and won't enjoy a cup until their moka pot has been "properly seasoned".
Your grandma's drip coffee? Rancid. From the vending machine at work or in a gas station? Rancid. Every single preground package at the store? Rancid. From your brother-in-law's $2k bean-to-cup machine? You guessed it, rancid. The 10yo nespresso you salvaged from a friend to bring at your desk? Boy you don't wanna know how much crap gets trapped inside over the years.
Lots of those don’t have this flavor note though.
And I never noticed the note until about ten years ago. Been drinking coffee over thirty years.
Maybe it’s something else then.
