minimum dose size?

How do I know if my coffee is “bad” vs learning how to taste it?

I’ve been drinking coffee my whole life with sugar (and low quality), but after years I’ve decided to change that and lower the sugar little by little. Right now I can drink my black coffee with very little sugar, but as soon as I remove it all it’s super bitter and almost undrinkable. That’s one of the reasons that I basically only drink lattes at home.

If I go into a coffee shop I can at least minimally enjoy a no-sugar black coffee, but normally it’s not great as well.

I’m not an expert at coffee but I have my own grinder and buy quality beans only.

I mostly use a pour-over with metal filter or my coffee maker (normally tastes better) using a 1:16 ratio and medium coarse grind. I make 1-2 cups at a time.

One struggle that I have is trying to not boil the water as I use a normal kettle. And the filter is too small to really do a circled pour-over with that kettle but I try my best…

Am I just making plenty of mistakes and creating a bad coffee or I just need to keep going until it tastes better?
