I prefer CHEAP, ACIDIC coffee because I did the pourover too fast on mediocre store-bought grounds that are too fine, LOL.

😄. Get yourself a decent burr grinder, a French press, and some Aldi oat milk (if you don't want black) and you can make as good a cup of coffee as you can get at the best coffee shops.

I normally use that same coffee in an Ikea French Press and while I won't say it's gourmet, it meets my needs for "not particularly bitter caffeine juice". Honestly, I slowed it down the next time I did a single cup pourover and that took most of the battery acid notes out of it.

I don't have a particularly sophisticated palate and still want some sugar and milk in there; I just don't like Starbucks very much and hate paying a premium for a product that I like less than my homemade half-assery. :-)
