Inexplicably haunted by Sour Coffee

For the past year I have been attempting to fix a constant weird sourness in my cup.

I have tried different brewers (French Press, Moka Pot, Espresso machine [cheap]), each producing sour, over acidic coffee.

I have tried different beans and roasts. Whole bean and pre ground. Different grind levels. Dark and Medium roasts. Barely any change.

Have I gone insane? Do I have a strange genetic marker that makes coffee taste too sour? Could I have been cursed at some point in my life?

If there is anything anyone can think of to possibly explain this phenomenon better than Devine intervention, I will try anything.
