Really pointless LJ poll:

Note: assume well-prepared, good coffee, not any of that instant crap or anything.

[Poll #1207500]

(ps if you answer anything other than "Delicious!" you are wrong :)

i've never found brand to make a huge difference for bitterness, just flavor. i'm a big fan of preparation using a french press, though! 5 minutes of boiling hot water over coarse-ground coffee -- delicious. and in a french press, you avoid filtering out all the wonderful oils that lend so much flavor.

(thinking along the lines of the cold brew suggestion below, i think a coarse grind is key to avoiding bitterness -- the bitterness seems to come from either too long an extraction time or too fine a grind.)
