You know coffee doesn't have to taste like shit? - Black coffee discussion

buy caffeinated cocoa then?
The main reason I like coffee is because of the way it tastes with cream in it. Bitter is my favorite flavor and I don't put anything in tea. But I feel like coffee needs something to enhance the bitter.
I would recommend buying decent roasts and grinding fresh, that may be your problem right there. With standard vacuum sealed grocery store bricks I had similar problems in the past.

Learn how to make a decent coffee instead of adding shit to mask your incompetence.
Good coffee tastes incredible when it's black and can almost taste like chocolate. Most coffee is not good unfortunately.

You just have to learn to make coffee. And fuck Null, french press is probably the most mellow way to make coffee since you arent pushing scalding water through the grounds you get a lot more body from the oils and shit in the beans (which is where most of the flavor of the coffee and a bit of sweetness comes from, since roasting coffee beans is just caramelizing the sugars and oils naturally present.) I do it 1 minute with like a quarter cup of water to bloom the grounds, then pour in the rest of the water and steep it for like 3-4 minutes.

Getting the proper ratio of coffee to water, using fresh ground beans, it does matter.

But a lot of normies who are drinking coffee are also drinking shit like the K Cups anyway or adding shit like flavored syrups. Also they drink shit like Starbucks which is some of the worst and will go for super dark roasts which are usually burnt.

It doesnt even have to be expensive, I lived in a metro area and had plenty of options, so I was able to find places that sell beans by the pound, and for a long time I was getting $9/lb instead of the $14/12oz that hipster single origin type places would have. It was middle of the road quality but it was comparable in price to my grandmas big grocery store tub of Folgers, or my dads instant coffee for the same weight.
nobody mentioned espresso??
Espresso is a different beast and entirely different angle of coffee snob,

I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.
What do you recommend?
