All coffe is bitter, am I wrong?

>>14634440
Add a few drops of Angostura bitters

pinch your nose while you sip it like you did as a child aka you still now when you had to eat yucky foods

>>14634484
Coffee is bitter naturally, but some of the stuff in the supermarkets is actually burnt beans, roasted too much.. People who go on about their coffee tasting like blueberries or whatever are just like the wine fags, though.

>>14634440
Cream. Cardamom u may like too.

>>14634508
Agree, you can also burn your coffe at home if you fuck up the procedure. I have an espresso machine and sometimes the filters get clogged, coffe starts to come out in drops or just stops getting out and it tastes like burnt Castrol oil

>>14634484
Yes, but if your coffee is too bitter for your tastes consider getting a lighter roast.

>>14634535
What if you buy non-roasted seeds? Can you roast them yourself?

>>14634447
This is what you are looking for. Medium roast and use a V60.

Lower your sugar consumption and the coffee will taste less bitter

>>14634440
Butter.

>>14634550
Yeah, you can fairly easily do it in a cast iron pan if you want.

>>14634679
Specifically salted butter

I actually fucking hate cinnamon but if you put cinnamon in your coffee when you brew a pot you will not taste it and it makes black coffee not bitter.

A pinch of salt

Who roasted your coffee? When?
If you're buying good coffee, you know this. (Roasted within the last 3 weeks is usually pretty good. 15 days is better, except for robustas, which should be minimum 6 months old - stick to arabicas. You're not there yet.)

You should grind it yourself, just a few minutes before you brew it.

Don't make the brew water too hot.
Don't make the brew water too cold.
Use enough coffee - if you skimp, the bad tasting parts of coffee come out and overwhelm the good tasting parts.

TLDR: mix equal parts brewed coffee and French Vanilla Coffeemate.

>>14634440
I just add half&half which I guess has milk sugars but idaf it works for me

>>14634440
I would like to know how you make coffee taste good WITH sugar. I can tolerate milk but sugar is fucking vile.

1. Buy better coffee
2. Grind your own beans fresh
3. Add heavy cream if anything

No sugar, milk, or half-n-half

A little bit of creme de menthe and creme de cacao. You get the flavor but you don't feel like shit after drinking coffee with cream and sugar.

Good beans, tsp of mct oil (optional) and a dash of pic related.

Raven's brew

>>14635351
What difference does the oil make?

All coffee should be served with cream and sugar because they complement and enhance the flavor of the coffee. It's like adding salt to meat. Arguments to the contrary are stupid.

>>14634456
Better than any coffee shop shit you stupid coffee snob, keep paying for overpriced coffee

>>14634701
How much? Do you just mix it with the coffee grounds and make it normally or what?

>>14636539
My machine atm is a keurig I got for free so I don't really know good measurements, but put a few spoonfuls in with the grounds and just make it normally. It will change the coffee a lot before it gets to where you can taste it, I would say its probably better to have more than less but you only need a surprisingly small amount to make a difference

>>14636559
Interesting. I hate coffee myself but I’ll try this tomorrow and to see if it’s any good

>>14634528
what do you think makes cream taste sweet

>>14634703
yeah NOT this

>>14634440
taper yourself off the sugars and you'll start actually tasting the coffee and eventually you won't even want the sugar

>>14634508
Nope. The difference is that it takes a discerning palette to taste the crazy shit that the best wines are supposed to offer. Good coffee roasted lightly and brewed by someone who knows what they're doing (or even a machine calibrated the right way) can legimately taste like blueberries and other things and be much more sweet than bitter. The first time I had coffee like that blue my fucking mind.

>>14634738
If it's roasted lightly you should use boiling water every single time and adjust coarseness instead of temperature. It's much easier to get it where you want with only 1 variable to change.

>>14636872
>you'll start actually tasting the coffee and eventually you won't even want the sugar

Either that, or he won't even want the coffee.

>>14636901
If he's drinking "fogler" he won't, but good shit will change his life.

>>14634440
don't drink coffee and just drink water, coffee everyday is addictive habit and is just shit. Even if you drink in moderation you are likely to go overboard on the healthy dosage, after your second cup in the day without even noticing. Most sizes of mugs/cups have multiple servings of caffeine that you think only represents 1 cup so it's not good for your heart.

>>14636919

>>14634776
Then the coffee has the perfect amount of sugar already, and there is no need to further season it.

>>14634440
Ice it, it'll let you drink it faster so you care less about taste

>>14636499
t. idiot

soy

>>14634440
Find a local roastery. Freshly roasted is best. Ideally, grind your coffee just before preparation. Use 70g coffee per litre of water. Filtered water if possible.

For a sweeter cup, try cold brewing. Grind your coffee and put it in a jar with cold water (twice the amount of coffee than you’d use with hot water- 140g coffee per liter of water). Keep it in the fridge for 20-24 hours. Filter it. It’s going to be more concentrated, so dilute it with water or ice depending on your taste. You can keep the rest in fridge for a couple of days.

>>14634440
light roast, pinch of salt, dash of cinnamon

>>14636499
You have spelled "Folgers" as "foglers" to which amuses us you fucking moron haha

>>14634440
Stop eating sweet foods. Only then you can appreciate the bitterness.

>>14634440
grind fresh beans for each cup. add real cream. easy.

Bailey's

>>14641135
Southernfag here. As soon as I stopped sweetening my tea, I started consuming other non-sweets as well. I honestly enjoy my coffee black much more than I did when I'd use creamers and shit.

>>14634440
honey

>>14634440
imagine drinking burnt water

>>14644567
You can't burn water.

>>14634440
Find a roast you like, filter machine, pinch of salt in with the grounds when making it.

>>14644628
Yes you can. Remember that brown residue left in kettle after you boil the water to complete evaporation? If you scrap 'em and dissolve in water, it would taste exactly like coffee lol

>>14644738
I think you need to clean your kettle mate.

Tarantino was right, women go out and buy shit coffee. When I go out I buy the gourmet expensive stuff, because I like to taste what I'm drinking. But you know what's on my mind right now?

>>14644738
That's not burnt water nor does it taste like coffee. Are you one of those retards with a babby palate that are perpetually angry at coffee perhaps?

>>14634449

>>14634443
fpbp OP probably isn't even brewing it correctly

>>14634440
Is there a way to make coffee from the whole bean without fancy shit like a french press and all that?

>>14634440
A couple drops of FlavDrops from MyProtein. I use vanilla or toffee

>>14646426
you grind the beans before you put it in the french press. you can grind the coffee yourself and put it a standard coffee maker

>>14634440
>>14634447
Start with a Keurig with a variety of coffe roast pods. This will give you an idea of different coffees and then you can venture out to buying grounds and brewing

>>14634440
If you're really attached to the sweetness, you could try erythritol. It's an artificial sweetener that I couldn't find any health problems for unless you had an allergy to it or ate an assload of it. From what I've read, it doesn't even spike your insulin, but I'd recommend looking it up yourself (please tell me if I'm incorrect)

>>14647019
Not op but i have been using an erythritol/stevia sweetener for years now and its pretty good, I definitely recommend.

Step 1: Drink coffee black for 6 months
Step 2: Reintroduce half and half

Baddaboop baddabing it should taste good now.

>>14646426
I recommend this ceramic filter.
Easier and better taste than French press

>>14634449
Is it still gonna be good even without having a sister?

>>14634508
There ARE coffees out there that hit you over the head with blueberry flavor, anon. Are you mad that people can actually taste things? I don’t understand.

IPad 7 or tab 6 (not lite)?

>>14648279
I'm sure it's good, but I bet the coffee takes forever to seep through

>>14634440
1) Buy decent coffee
2) Don't overheat the water. Water that's too hot is one of the things makes coffee taste shitty and bitter. The water temp you want is 195-205 F, if you're not autistic enough to sit there with a thermometer, just boil the water and let it sit for a few minutes to cool down a touch.

>>14649744
Not much different from paper filters.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F1FN2PL/
I looked for a similar product on Amazon, but the price is high.
It is wise not to buy until the product of $ 20 is distributed.

>>14646426
Get a v60. Hario is the original but tons of other people make them.
>>14648279
>>14649816
These are crap for someone who's trying to avoid extra work. They clog up and you need to apply a torch to them to clean out the spent grounds. Just use the normal Hario paper filters.

>>14649820
I also have a HARIO, but I don't use it because I have to make a careful use of Brew.
I used Melitta before, but recently I changed it to a ceramic filter.
The use period is only about one month, but no clogging has occurred.
In the first place, paper filters are out of the question because it is a comparison with French press.

>girlfriend wants an espresso machine
>don't feel like trying to convince her not to get one
are there any ok ones for < 300? she's looking at some de'longhi models
