a coffee lover knows difference
You think these people drink coffee for the flavor?
They're addicts.
I drink coffee every day.
Flavour is certainly extremely important.
I have never met anyone that likes coffee on the first try. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying most people acquire a taste for it the same way they do with alcohol.
I mean with that last bit... I mostly enjoyed the taste of alcohol from a young age.
I'm not saying you don't exist, I'm just saying you're an outlier.
I never met them in the office. The coffee drinkers in my office are just drowning their coffee in milk and sugar.
Generally work coffee seems like just get me through another day of this shit medicine.
IMO, a lot of cheap office coffee isn't palatable (or nuanced enough to bother taking straight) unless you doctor it up like that.
Dark roast and even some medium roast tastes like fireplace ash, decaf tastes like vegetable root farts and/or chemicals.
You are not joking. One of my favorite diners served Lavazaa which was always roasted to hell in order to bring out distinct "cigarette ash" notes. Needless to say, I didn't go there for the coffee.
I really want to know if I'm doing it wrong or something. Maybe different brew methods that I don't do, magically don't pull out the burnt flavors??
As far as brewing goes, I'm not entirely in the know but I do have an idea. Anecdotally, I have found that you get different results with pour-over filtered, un-filtered (moka pot or french press), coldbrew, and espresso. I'm sure there's something in there to do with heat, pressure, time, and how that impacts the extraction of different compounds. I'd change your brew method - you're probably onto something there.
That's the only way to get down most office coffee, and sometimes even that isn't enough.
