A Malaysian woman was recently taken aback to find her coffee, purchased from a local coffee chain vending machine, turned out to revert back to the raw ingredients used to make the drink.
In a Threads post, an image attached of the beverage showed what seemed to be plain water and a single coffee bean floating on the surface.
The post amused netizens who joked about the coffee being of “single origin” thanks to the lone coffee bean while the topic sparked a discussion on food quality.
“0.1% caffeine, 0% milk,” remarked a user.
“Was this made out of spite? What do you mean an unroasted coffee bean,” another commented.
Others also alleged to have experienced a similar situation with the same vending machine from the eatery chain.
“I once encountered this issue when I purchased a latte from this machine. I thought it tasted bland like milk mixed with too much water. Opened the lid and found that there was no coffee in there,” a user recalled.
“I also bought a coffee from the vending machine in Kuala Lumpur. I swear it tasted so bad and regretted buying it. Price was quite expensive too,” another claimed.
