Needs to be arabica, any roast that isn't over or under roasted, a fine ground (depends on you), and put through a cotton pour-over. It should taste naturally sweet, but the industrialization of this drink makes it taste like hot, bitter cow shit.

It's not fresh, ground at an incorrect or inconsistent size, the water's boiled instead of simmered, or all of the above (present in Keurig and coffee pots, the worst coffee of all). Robusta coffee has way more caffeine, but is easy to grow. A majority of coffee sold is robusta. Light roasted robusta may give heart palpitations.

There's no reason to drink coffee if you don't like it. It's so often poorly made and used to capitalize caffeine addictions.
The only reason to drink coffee if you aren't addicted to it is if you're some fanatic. It's a entirely a shit drink with shit taste and it should die off.

People who say they can taste the land from where the coffee came from are bullshit.

In Costa Rica, we use a "chorreador".
You put the coffee directly in the bag, without the paper filter .
After it's done you wash the bag and let it dry.
