I think I know what you're talking about. I used to really like Tchibo 
coffee and a few months back I bought some and it had this weird taste 
which I would describe as similar to gypsum (dry wall dust).

These days I buy fresh roasted beans from local roasters or online and 
grind it at home. Much better quality and taste than preground.
