What is bad coffee and what does it look like?! You'll know it when you see it and so we show it to you here with Nomi Brew. You may want to start drinking better quality coffee after this, as seeing the low grade coffee makes us want to gag. ☕️ Bad coffee is seen by its use of black beans, broken beans and some parchment (which shouldn't be in there). 😫This is what we call coffee defects and, unfortunately, lower quality coffee brands has a higher amount of coffee defects. Brands such as Folgers or Maxwell House would contain more defects. ☕️ Bad coffee will roast unevenly and some of the bad beans will make that cup of coffee taste moldy, musty, earthy. Drink better quality coffee, friends! Your taste buds will thank you. #coffee #coffeelovers #specialtycoffee
