Its not even real espresso tho :/ Just a pre made syrup shit. I need real beans roasted. As soon as you take a sip its like all the air and moisture escapes from your mouth and just left with nothing but the lovely bitter sting of the espresso hitting your tongue hahaha

Machines are typically shite, the water just passes through the grounds... It takes at least 5min to brew a cup of coffee, just below boiling temperature
Personally I measure grounds by eye, but err on the side of more
If you don't brew it long enough, or don't use enough grounds You get coffee flavored water, which is what most people drink and sell in my experience
I use a French Press, with 2-3 tablespoons of coffee per cup, always tastes good.
I can't stand weak coffee, and I usually drink it black, or with one packet of stevia which isn't sweet enough to ruin the coffee, just takes some of the bite away, still tastes strong though.
When I was younger I would only drink coffee with cream and sugar, then I wanted to actually taste the beans I was consuming and try to taste the actual flavor of the beans instead of all the sugar and cream, so I quit putting stuff in it, and like it better this way, feels more natural this way, more ritualistic.

Next time put a couple shakes of salt into your grinds before brewing. That will take the bitterness away as well as smooth out all the flavors giving you a more well rounded flavor. You wont even need stevia.

Yeah, sugar doesn't mix well with coffee imo, gross Never tried stevia
I think milk brings out the flavor of coffee though, 2 cups each mixed in with some ice, as good as any ale I've had.

Dominican republic has great coffee. I went to an all inclusive and we had a drip coffee machine in our room and they gave us really good coffee.
At the cafe and in the restauraunts it was all espresso.
The espresso that i make tastes like dominican coffee. Its awesome.

The salt works for sure and I highly recommend everyone who takes their coffee seriously to try it. I will never steer someone wrong in the methods of brewing a better cup of coffee.
Vietnamese coffee is some of my favorite.

I only use a small amount of stevia per cup, just one little packet, I find that if the coffee is to sweet, then it ruins the flavor of the beans, so the stevia is not sweet enough to ruin.

Equal parts coffee and milk (dairy or nut), a lot of ice
French presses are pretty nice, same concept as a jar but with a built in filter
Oh, french press is really a cool thing, can't not to agree with you, even if this thread is old! I adore the taste of my coffee which is made with this stuff  I also like coffee makers with grinders like in this list from cozzy for example, they're rather expensive but very comfortable for those who prefer to make coffee from beans (as in my case) I have such Delonghi for example and it's nice for making good latte and cappuccino too 

Latte and cappucino are my favourite types of coffee, as also classic espresso with sugar and milk

It's true unless you're going by weight rather than scoop

Im all about black coffee these days, nice full flavor and I love strong coffee. use to be about the milk but im not a calf so i stopped that shit
Sugar in coffee seems pointless unless its shit coffee
My friend use to be a barista he always made his special coffee, 3 to 4 shots and a scoop of some badass vanilla ice cream. much enjoyment
I have some Jamaican coffee atm and its so tasty, the smell fills like half the house when brewin
