good coffee isnt really bitter though (shade grown coffee for the win!)
There are ways to influence the bitterness of the coffee, I personally prefer cold brew, but there is an inherent bitterness to coffee regardless when made with decent strength. Some people be making some watery-ass coffee

I was in military for over 23 years and coffee is coffee to me. Yes, some are tastier than others but at end of day I am just looking for the caffeine. Taste is an after thought when you get woken up at 2am for operations. I also drink it black.
Army coffee is special. Part of its effectiveness in waking you up is the shockingly bad taste, which you maximize by drinking it black. It’s better when it’s bad, because you’re gonna drink it anyway.
You want wimpy good-tasting coffee, go join the Air Force.

My in-laws always use a half scoop per cup, no thank you. Cardboard flavoured water.
To be fair though I’m spoiled with single origin, roasted to order beans

Military, jail - what’s the difference?
One pays you and sets you up for a life afterward, the other takes away your dignity and everything you had put together for your life.

As a non americano, what’s the name of that dirt you brew and drink?

I was a big coffee guy for awhile for the taste, now I’m really just in it for the caffeine. Aeropress + whatever’s on sale is good enough for me
Aeropress is a significant leap above basic coffee for the caffeine.

Humans are just a more articulate version of cockroaches. An over-engineered insect, turned inside-out and wrapped in skin.

It’s also fast and easy which is what I’m looking for at 6am

Its what I drank for 20 years until I got some amazing coffee for my birthday one year. I just couldnt go back. If you’ve retired from military life and have the time to enjoy instead of rushing for ops it might be time to treat yourself.
Also, weigh it. Volumes change with different beans and grinds. Weights dont. Kitchen scales are cheap and easy.

Put the vessel on the balance and tare every time you finish including an ingredient. Always start on zero, don’t bother with the math.
This is good advice, but every so often I’ll screw up and put some grounds in before I think to tare the scale, so what I’ve done is put a little label on my French press that says how many grams it weighs when empty. That way, if I find myself in that situation, I can do the math of how much the press and grounds should all weigh together.

No offense to anyone who drinks Folgers, but Folgers isn’t very good coffee.
I’m no coffee snob, but it’s definitely something worth spending a little extra money to get better quality stuff. You don’t have to go nuts and get whole bean Jamaican blue mountain whatever, but don’t buy the plastic jug of pre-ground Folgers swill either. Treat yo self.

So true. I just saw an opportunity to enlighten people with the shade grown beans being way better. It removes this disgusting bitter taste of coffee but it of course stays bitter tasting, if you get what I mean hahaha.
Always been interested in cold brew though but didn’t do the time sink (yet)
