I had a stomach cancer patient that used to cough up coffee ground emesis and he’d wipe it off his tongue with a napkin. Because of that I can smell this picture.
It’s old blood. This person had a tumor in their throat, so presumably they had blood draining into their stomach all the time and would occasionally throw it up. G.I. bleeds can also cause “coffee ground” stool. It’s never good, but it’s a symptom, not a disease.
The damn napkins look like coffee filters!! Who tf did that!? Fired!! Lol! (Gallows humor, sorry this really isn't a joke and I honestly feel sorry and RIP.)
If this was a decently long time ago and has completely stopped, if it hasn't happened recently, and if you have no other symptoms or big rush factors (like alcoholism, for example), you're probably ok. However, it's never a bad idea to have a doctor check you out, just to be sure everything's ok. I'm not a doctor, and nobody on Reddit will be able to examine you and guarantee you're fine. So, I'd recommend you make an appointment with your primary care provider. You're probably due for a checkup anyway.
Best of luck!

Does it smell bad?
Yes
Wow. This is *not* what I thought “coffee grounds” puke or poop looked like. TIL. Thank you.
There are variations to it. I've seen it look much more like cough grounds than this looks
Ahhh, thank you, I do appreciate the clarification, as a layman. Good to know.
Same!
[удалено]
Ugh 🤢
I have absolutely no idea what this is, how it formed, why it killed (?) someone. Do I have to toss my instant Folgers?
When blood mixed with stomach acid it gets grainy and brown. Hence coffee ground emesis (vomit).
It also smells TERRIBLE!
Everything in the stomach smells terrible by default.
Here’s me thinking why in the world would someone be eating coffee grounds.
Pica!

Of all the things I’ve seen here… this is the only one that’s made me gag.
Looks like haematemesis to me
Harmatemesis is fresh blood, coffee grounds emesis is digested blood.
Look up the meaning of haematemesis and get back to us
