I know that sounds dumb but I hate the bitter taste of regular coffee. My kids wake up before 6 and I'm dead without caffeine. Tried those K-cups with extra cream and they're still gross. Should I just switch to tea or does anyone know a way to make coffee actually taste good?
Flavored coffee might be your move. I'm talking the actual ground stuff, not the syrup. Or honestly just lean into tea or energy drinks if coffee's really not your thing. We don't all have to be caffeine snobs to get through early mornings.
Have you tried coffee with cream and sugar? I know that sounds basic but I hated black coffee for years. Also iced coffee is a game changer if you think regular hot coffee tastes too strong. The bitterness is way less noticeable cold.
Cold brew! I hate regular coffee too but cold brew tastes way smoother and less bitter. My kids are up at like 5:30 so I get it. I make mine in a big batch on Sunday and just keep it in the fridge. Takes like 20 seconds to pour a cup.

Not dumb at all man. Try a latte or cappuccino. The milk really cuts the bitter taste and they're actually pretty easy to make at home with a basic frother. For the 6am wake-up crowd we've gotta do what works.
