>>31203386nigga, just because you drink those instant nescafe doesn't mean all coffee are shit.
Even a drip coffee machine is a noticeable upgrade, and grind your own beans.
>>31203807I will not talk about espresso because your average /vt/ can't buy espresso machines or use one. Two easiest, entry level method of coffee preparation is pour over and immersion. Pour over is common by pouring hot water into a coffee in a funnel with paper filter (drip coffee works in the same method, only its automated so you get consistent results). And immersion is more akin to submerge the ground coffee in water for period of time, for example, a french press. I suggest just get a drip coffee machine so you don't screw up the process, and I enjoy french press, but fuck me the plunger is stupidly hard to clean, and the leftover grinds in the bottle just sticks like fuck.
My tips are to get the least bitter coffee (fags call it "strength" and "full bodies"), is basically by not overextracting the coffee. By using a more coarse grind than finer grind (think of coarse salt than table salt), use lower level temperature around 90-85C even, in french press, try to only pour top half of the glass, into a cup, and leave the rest, bitter coffee behind, etc. You might not be able to absolutely remove the bitter part, but it will be replaced by more empowering, lets say, fruityness of the coffee, or sourness of the coffee, depending on your bean type of course. It should no longer taste like ashtray and coal.
Beans do make a difference, you might want a more light roasted types of coffee (which they usually label between coffee types). But its the preparation of the coffee that really affects your bitterness (that you can correct over time as you practice). Or just get a drip machine.
