Ah but he finished the coffee, right? It wasn't that bad then.

Once I visited my childhood home and the neighbors, who remembered me, invited me in for a cup of coffee. It was a nice gesture and a nice catchup, but I will forever remember that coffee as the worst coffee of my life. It was so acidic and burnt like anything I ever tasted. I typically have my coffee without sugar, and as soon as the neighbor saw me struggling with it she offered sugar and milk. It didn't help. I don't think I finished it.

If you have to add sugar to coffee or tea I believe you've made it wrong OR aren’t drinking good coffee or teas

I am so so sorry you went through that.

Salt can really help the really bitter coffees. I'd recommend a few grains at a time.

"Did you follow the directions for measurments?"

Who does that when making coffee?

Also who talks like that?

Dark, as any good coffee is. Bitter may be in the mouth of the beholder (drinker).
