If you are making coffee in a press, then the secret is to make sure the water is not boiling hot. If the water is too hot then it turns the coffee bitter. Put a dash of cinnamon into the coffee grinds and mix. Always use whole beans (stored in an airtight container and well sealed for freshness) and grind as required.
You can do the same with a coffee machine but if you find the coffee is always slightly bitter then add a small dash of salt to the grinds instead of cinnamon(in the filter with your grinds) and sprinkle cinnamon on top of your coffee after you pour it. Also, put the cream into your coffee cup before you pour the coffee not after.
Hope this helps:)

the best way to make the perfect cup at home is to buy one of those small cylinder type coffee grinders and grind the grounds to a very fine powder, ( remember that the grounds are now 3 to 4 time stronger) then you will have to experiment and adjust to your taste/
The key to good coffee is Excellent water quality. You can have the best beans and the best ingredients, however if you have impurities in the water, the coffee will tast awful. You can test your water with a home test kit.
