The last few years we have been getting the Pesach’dike instant coffee but I never liked it, and when our chometzike hot water urn died and the Pesach one became chometz, I got us a coffee machine at a much cheaper price, and I got us a box of Gevalia ground decaf and put it away for Pesach.
Well – the new coffee machine and filters are fine, but the coffee just smells and tastes so bad, I sent it back o the company (today), and got a tiny decaf (instant) to tide us over. I figure I’ll just run water through the coffee maker and use that, since I don’t think I’m leaving a fire on the stove for yomtov, just the oven on a timer.
Has anyone else had this experience?

I get Gevalia shipped to me on a regular basis, love their coffee. Are you sure you used the right ratio of coffee to water?

Yes, I tried it several times; it's not the first time I've used their coffee; just the first disaster!

maybe it's not fresh. One year I got the bright idea of putting away an unopened jar of pesachdik coffee for the following year. Next year it tasted and smelled exactly like dust.

Did you use the machine to brew coffee without running it with just water or water-and-vinegar first? Residue from the manufacturing process can contaminate your first batch if you don't do a blank run. (Also a good idea every now and then for maintenance.) For that matter, any utensil that comes into direct contact with food should be thoroughly washed before first use.

It was takeh a new machine, but by chol hamoed, it had been run a few times and should have been okay by then.
