Fiberglass batt – burnt coffee smell

Why do Owens Corning unfaced fiberglass batts smell like burnt coffee? Perhaps the batch I’m currently inspecting was stored inside a coffee roastery. Or is it something else? On a related note – When will we be able to upload smells to the site? I hear the iPhone 7 will have an app for that.

Jack,
Well, since competing insulation products sometimes smell like dead fish, consider yourself lucky.
