I do drink it, but honestly I don't think it tastes very good when compared to 'proper coffee'.

When I use my french press with some good freshly ground beans the difference is massive.

I'd love an actual coffee machine but can't afford one.

I don't grind my own, but people do say it makes a difference. There's a coffee place in my town that sells a variety of coffees and will grind it for you, there's probably one in your city. If not, try different store bought ones, be prepared to spend a little more.

Don't use boiling water, you want it to be approx. 90c. Experiment with letting it steep for different times, try 3 minutes before depressing the plunger and go from there, you'll find what works for you.

Also I like to warm my french press by rinsing it with some hot water before putting the grounds in.

What's the best way to make french press coffee with skim milk and some sugar? I just ordered eight different 50g packs from different coffee places in my country. I won't drink black coffee, it's bitter as shit and tastes so bad.

Quality is largely based on the beans, and sometimes even varies between batches.

Breakfast blends are really neat, often lighter roasted. Local coffeeshops – mine has a really flavorous house iteration.

Sugar brings out the bitterness.

A little sodium citrate reduces it; and stevia has really interesting sweetener options.

This is the only type of coffee I’ve drunk at home for my entire life
I put seven teaspoons of this stuff into a mug, fill the mug halfway with boiling water, stir, then fill the mug with cold water to cool it and drink it in one gulp. I usually drink two or three of these in rapid succession every morning. This is how I drink instant coffee.

That's like 700-1000mg of caffeine. Like triple what most people should need to feel a decent boost. It's just going to make you feel like shit to have that much all the time.

Remember to put the milk in before the water. It lowers the temperature so that you don't burn the coffee, and makes it taste 100x better.

How do you make the water less hot? Turn the kettle off early? Put in some cold water after it's done? Sounds like way too much effort.

Sure, It's shit coffee. But when you've spent the entire day hiking in the cold rain and wind, It's just a good morale booster. That honestly is just the effect of a good hot drink in a tent dodging the elements, but still. Having something that tastes remotely like coffee, and not coffee that's absolute shit makes some instant coffee great and others just plain awful.

A lot of people have never had a good cup of joe so, this is their only impression of what coffee tastes to them which is a shame really.

Have you tried drinking it repeatedly? I thought coffee tasted like shit black but now I like it. I think your brain adapts to the bitterness and you start to appreciate the other flavors.

Having said that, use real cream no sugar and that'll be a good stepping stone to going full black. I usually add cream still even though high quality black coffee is pretty based to go with a donut on a cold morning.

Eh, it's more like resetting your brain so that the bitterness isn't as strong. It's not like "bitter" means "bad", it's just a type of flavor.

I bet if you grew up eating more bitter things in general you probably would take right to coffee without issue. I grew up a picky eater so only in my 20s and 30s have I started eating what would be considered an average variety of foods, so of course many things were unpleasant to me until I got used to the new flavors.
