I'm a coffee snob and I don't mind them in hotel rooms and offices where nobody drinks coffee. The alternative is nothing, or instant, right?

This has always pissed me off in South American countries. World class coffee growing but a weak coffee culture.

But to answer your question, keep it simple and start with a nice medium roast, and then see what appeals to you from there. Bright flavor and higher caffeine? Go with a light roast. Smoky, rich flavor? Dark roast.

Yeah, I'm Greek and the coffee culture is so shitty we have made up some new versions of coffee just because we're so autistic.Basically the most popular forms of coffee are frape,which is instant coffee stirred so much it creates a foam,and fredo espresso and cappucino,which are made the standard way but stirred with ice to instantly ice them so they can be drinked cold at summer.

I'm definitely going to try light roast next time because I've tried good quality dark roast but it still tasted a bit charcoal-y for me.

I've never used a Moka pot personally, but I'm going to guess that you're getting the water too hot and/or the coffee is too fine a grind.
Boiling water will burn the coffee grounds, so while you do want to heat it to steaming, you don't want to boil the water in the bottom. With a pressurized extraction method like the Moka pot you'll want a fairly course grind, probably on par with what you'd put in a French press.
I wouldn't trust a company that sells pre-ground coffee (a convenience product) to also have very specific or correct grind size for specific methods (a luxury product)

They make very strong coffee, you probably want to dilute it in hot water.
The full amount of coffee that comes out is (probably, there are different size pots) supposed to be 6 shots of espresso. That's going to be super bitter if you're expecting a long black. Just top it up with boiling water.
What I do, is to only put 2 hots of ground coffee in the filter and the regular amount of water, that makes it how I like it.

You definitely don't want to fill the filter with coffee ground for just one cup. That's going to be very, very strong (and bitter). The other thing is to turn the heat off just as it starts to 'gasp', that should help prevent over-extraction which is one source of bitterness.

Even ignoring the fact that pod coffee is likely months old before it gets to you and definitely stale by then, most pod manufacturers skimp on coffee. I weighed the k-cups my parents have at their place and they were something like 11-12 grams including the plastic. You basically have to brew 2 pods on the 6 oz setting to get a decently sized cup of coffee at decent strength. Complete rip-off.

None of us know anything about decaf beans because we don't drink decaf from beans.
If I wanted decaf (and sometimes I do, just for the taste at night) then I drink instant. A nice instant to be sure but instant.

Decaf involves solvents and shit, I have no idea what it would do to beans though I have heard of them existing so there must be a brand that sells them.
But, because I don't know shit, I haven't told you shit because it would be ignorant shit.
