    “Did you follow the directions for measurments?”

    Who does that when making coffee?

    Also who talks like that?

      Bitter is actually not good coffee. There are also light and medium roasts which taste less like “dark roast” and let more of the flavor of the beans through, which is more interesting and varied for some people. For instance I’d say what I’m drinking now is bright and citrusy.

      Dark yes, but not really that bitter if brewed properly with good beans…What most people drink is not brewed properly and not with good beans.

        Totally agree with this. It’s hard to find a good roaster that isn’t charging a lot for beans now, but when you find one, it crushes anything you can buy in the store.

        Even buying beans in local coffee shops, if they aren’t roasting them, you could be buying beans that have been stale for months!

    Ah but he finished the coffee, right? It wasn’t that bad then.

    Once I visited my childhood home and the neighbors, who remembered me, invited me in for a cup of coffee. It was a nice gesture and a nice catchup, but I will forever remember that coffee as the worst coffee of my life. It was so acidic and burnt like anything I ever tasted. I typically have my coffee without sugar, and as soon as the neighbor saw me struggling with it she offered sugar and milk. It didn’t help. I don’t think I finished it.

      If you have to add sugar to coffee or tea I believe you’ve made it wrong OR aren’t drinking good coffee or teas

      I am so so sorry you went through that.
