      Bitter is actually not good coffee. There are also light and medium roasts which taste less like “dark roast” and let more of the flavor of the beans through, which is more interesting and varied for some people. For instance I’d say what I’m drinking now is bright and citrusy.

      Dark yes, but not really that bitter if brewed properly with good beans…What most people drink is not brewed properly and not with good beans.

        Totally agree with this. It’s hard to find a good roaster that isn’t charging a lot for beans now, but when you find one, it crushes anything you can buy in the store.

        Even buying beans in local coffee shops, if they aren’t roasting them, you could be buying beans that have been stale for months!
