  a few years ago, I was inspired to try a subscription to drinktrade.com

  i would hand grind fresh beans that then steep in filtered near boiling water for x amount of time. I had all the little accoutrement to prepare ithem fresh. i'd often make lazy espressos, the girl and guests thought they were delicious and delightful

  no matter what, i found them to be so bitter, i could never get behind any of the beans we ordered

  i bring ths up as, i found that equipment packed away and wonder if i should try any other coffees before i give it up completely?

  sign im gettting old? i'll never like coffee?

  of course one could add milk, sugar, creamer, etc. but if that's the case, i still don't like coffee

  • fresh roasted and ground coffee prepared how you describe should taste wonderful, no bitterness, just a medley of flavours._niko
  • Play with your grind settings, too big and it's sour, too small and it's bitter. You may also want to try different brew setups like pour over or aeropress.koma_
