There are coffee blends available that can be brewed very strong, and yet which are velvety smooth. it's all about how the beans are roasted. Go visit a local shop (when you can again) and have a chat with the coffee roaster/blender dude or gal. Tell them what you want in a coffee, and they will be able to make suggestions. It's not "hipster" to go find what you like, buy it and enjoy it.

Black coffee can taste delicious, and you don't need to buy expensive internet meme coffee either, (although, there are some coffees that are just too cheap and crappy to do anything with, so don't go too low).

I wouldn't force myself to drink a bad cup of coffee without milk.

With some decent beans freshly ground and brewed in a french press, its not even bitter (or acidic either).

Good coffee, out of a french press? I might drink it black, if I'm feeling froggy. Not bitter at all, just deep, warm, earthy notes. But it's been a long time since my coffee hipster days, I work early in the morning and pretty much just start my day with folgers out of the drip, and then whatever mud they serve at the diner where I cook for the rest of the day. Always drink that with cream and sugar.

People spend hundreds of dollars on bullshit chasing the consoomer dragon. Look at any other hobby. Dudes with 5 grand worth of guitar pedals when the real problem is they can't play for shit. Thousands of dollars into a PC rig to get 4k 144hz only to realize it doesn't solve their clinical depression. Or a more /ck/ flair, needed every kitchen gadget under the sun. You don't need a immersion circulator, and it doesn't make anything better than skill and experience with other methods. It's just a fool proof way to spend a load of money to get a dopamine hit.

You obviously don't know where money is best spent on anything related to cooking tourist. But when it comes to chef knives, you don't need $150+ ones, it's all a dick showing contest at that point. Really the `$40-60ish ones like Victronix and Mercer are perfectly fine. My analogy is more akin to you don't need to buy a 80k sedan for commuting when a 25k would work perfectly fine. If you are making 150k+ a year, than yeah, the 80k car is a drop in the bucket for you, but I know people that make under 6 figures that buy/lease those kind of cars and it consumes them.

There's a middle ground between "perfectly fine" and diminishing returns. I bring my own knife to work because something in the $100-120 range is much nicer to use for extended periods of time than the Victorinox and Mercer work horses we keep on hand. That said, even if you're just a home chef, it's nicer to invest a little more in something you enjoy using and will take care of, as it will last you decades. Yeah, I cringe every time I see a single mother working two barista jobs pull into her apartment complex lot in a brand new Audi she just leased. The difference is that the car is going to need to be replaced just as quickly whether she bought that or an Audi, while the knife wont.
>>15292491
Most of the coffee shit is more hobby/collector shit than it is dick waving. And while you can make a really good cup of coffee in a $3 plastic pour over from the grocery store, or a $15 french press from Target, compared to a V60 or Chemex, a decent burr grinder does actually make a significant difference.

good quality coffee (preferably specialty-grade single-origin, freshly ground) tastes great black though

I'm glad you made this a thread, contrary to the lewd bait picture meme and/or posting in the coffee general.
And I'm glad to tell you that 'anyone' - likely denoting a human as the one in any - cannot be attributed to what makes a human. Ergo: real humans don't drink black coffee, let alone enjoy it on their own initiative. You should be both wary and thankful if you ever meet a drinker of black coffee. It'll be as close you can get to meeting an 'alien' until our Mars expeditions make serious headway.

Kek. "Psychoactive", as applied to coffee, is a buzzword, you retarded soccer mom. By the same standard that coffee is a "psychoactive drug", you could say the same thing of sugar or a videogame.
Also instead of comparing a foreign stimulis like coffee to a foreign stimulus like videogames or the effects of one compared to the effects of the other, you're arbitrarily comparing the systems in your body affected by gaming to the foreign sustance itself (coffee). You're an idiot.
