That’s not got a lot to do with coffee and more (sugar) habits. You start drinking coffee and your parents put sugar in it so you get coffee with sugar. That’s the taste you get used to now without it tastes Off.
Straight coffee can be great but it requires a bit more effort. I love some guatamala beans but most Americano stuff is not my cup of tea, if you will.
I started drinking my coffee without sugar a couple years back and after about 3 sips of it being weird I decided I’d never go back to adding sugar. Still like a splash of cream though.
There is really no such thing as over or under roasted, except in regards to your own preferences. Some people like the roast. You seem to like more brightness and acidity. The spectrum of bean varieties and the ways particular roasts or other preparations for particular beans can bring out or suppress particular flavors for particular drinks is just too broad to make such childishly broad statements. Same logic can be applied to tea, wine, chocolate, etc.
I generally agree, but the amount of people that prefer darkly roasted coffee straight is relatively small, which is more my point. Darkly roasted coffee fits better with milk, generally, which is why it’s so prevalent and why people are confused when they hear people say coffee tastes good black.
Nah, for my money dark roasts are best black, either hot or cold brewed. If brewed right, they’re super smooth and flavorful, no need for anything else. People usually don’t have enough coffee to water and that totally ruins dark roasts. Higher acidity of light roasts lend themselves to balance with cream and sugar. And those opinions seem to be common among the thousands of people I’ve personally served coffee to. Maybe try listening to people about what they say they like, instead of jumping to correcting them based on your tastes.
Yeah man coffee tastes so good, which is why most people drink it half mixed with milk or full of flavoured syrups.

Americano is gross. If you want drip coffee, make drip coffee. Diluting espresso to the strength of regular drip coffee is asinine.

There’s over-roasted coffee made to be mixed, and there’s properly roasted coffee made to be consumed straight.

Man I know nothing about coffee but even I can see that he got roasted!
That’s coffee humor right?
