I make the worst coffee on earth! I’ve been practicing for 10 years. I can’t say for sure why it is bad, not consistently strong or weak, but it is bitter with an unpleasant taste. Sort of sharp on the mouth. It is not smooth and soft on the mouth like what I have at a coffee shop or even at a fast food drive through.

I have used nearly every brand of coffee that is offered on the market from cheap to very expensive. I have tried organic too.

I’ve had 4 coffeemakers in the last 10 years, each pot improving in quality but with consistently bad results. I now use a Delonghi 10 cup model that is only 2 months old. It uses a gold metal filter basket.

I use cold water that is filtered through my fridge filter. This is the same water that I drink & has a crisp, clean taste.

I keep my coffeepot and carafe clean & descale regularly.

I typically make 4-6 cups of coffee (6oz of water per cup). 1-2 tbsp grinds per cup, using instructions on bag of beans.

Please help?!?

I read on this site that a ‘burr’ style of coffee grinder should be used over a ‘blade’ type to get a more consistent grind. What type of grinder is usually used in the gourmet coffee section of the grocery store where you grind your own beans?

Okay, here’s the deal: I am in a college dorm and hot plates/burners are considered Illegal. However, coffee makers are okay. Are there any creative recipes out there which can be made with one?

Thanks.
