Always put a good pinch of salt in the coffee perk. Kills the bitterness. Cowboy coffee boiled over an open fire with the grounds right in the water is still the best.

That is how the coffee is made while in the field in the early 60s in the Army. They had a large pot of water, brought to a boil, dumped a #10 can off coffee into the boil water and added an egg to get the grounds to the bottom. *Vote*

Aldi's German roast coffee has no hint of bitterness, $5 a bag so not as cheap as a big can for $5 but it is a nice treat.

Years ago had a cup at truck stop. Was Bitter, fellow next to me told me try a few " GRAINS" of salt in my cup. It works For me. JMO I think it is the chlorine used in public water supply. Tut

I like my strong, dark and black. If have heard that a small amount of vinegar will make coffee look clear as a bell and gives it a great taste. I have done this and it does make a great cup of coffee. It is clear but doesn't take the strong flavor away just adds to it IMO.
