BITTER COFFEE
Maksym Pazuniak, who has tended bar at Cure in New Orleans and The Counting Room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is a devotee of challenging tastes. Bitter Coffee, a hot, creamy concoction suited to the winter holidays, takes as its base Cynar, the bittersweet Italian liqueur that incorporates flavors of artichoke and rhubarb, among others. A few minutes of easy whisking over a stove yields a full-flavored mugful in which the maple-vanilla roundness of the drink are snapped to attention by the edgy amaro and steaming coffee.

Steps:
- Fill a small saucepan halfway with water. Over medium heat, bring to a gentle boil.
- In a heat-safe bowl about the same diameter as the saucepan, whisk together the Cynar, rum, maple syrup, egg yolk and vanilla. Place bowl on top of the saucepan, as water continues boiling, and whisk mixture for about another 2 to 3 minutes, just long enough to warm it and thicken it slightly.
- Pour mixture into an Irish coffee mug and top with the coffee while stirring. Grate whole nutmeg or sprinkle ground nutmeg over top.

FRENCH PRESS COFFEE
Once you get the hang of using it, a French press delivers consistent results and a heavier-bodied brew. Plus it makes your morning coffee ritual much more enjoyable. There are a few prerequisites: Coffee that is too finely ground will make your final product murky and give it an oily sheen and bitter flavor. If you do not have a coffee grinder, ask the person in the coffee section of the grocery store or your local coffee shop to grind the beans for French press. Water temperature also matters-too hot and it can cause the brew to taste burnt. How long to let it steep is subjective so experiment to find your own target time.

Steps:
- Bring a kettle of water to boil. Pour the water into a 4- to 8-cup French coffee press to warm it while you grind your beans. Refill the kettle with 2 cups water and return to a boil.
- Grind the beans in a coffee grinder on the coarse setting; the ground coffee should resemble coarse sugar or sand. Coffee that is too finely ground will make your final product murky and give it an oily sheen and bitter flavor.
- Once the kettle comes to a boil, remove from the heat and let sit 30 seconds to reach the optimal temperature for French press. If it's too hot, it can cause the brew to taste burnt.
- Pour the hot water out of the French press. Put the measures coffee in the bottom. And 1 cup of the hot water, put on the top (but don't press) and let sit 1 minute.
- After 1 minute, gently stir with the handle of a wooden spoon to break up the layer of coffee on top. Pour in the remaining 1 cup hot water. Put the top on (but don't press) and let sit for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, depending on how strong you like your coffee. Taste is subjective, so experiment to find your own target time.
- Slowly push the plunger down to press the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot. As a rule of thumb, if it is very difficult to press, your coffee is probably ground too fine. If it glides right down with no resistance, your grind is probably too coarse. There is a sweet spot of resistance somewhere in the middle.
- Serve right away with milk and sweetener if using. If you aren't sharing the pot and want to wait to have a second cup, it's best to transfer the coffee to a thermos or carafe. If you leave it in the press, it will continue to brew and can become too strong or bitter.

- Adjust Brewing Time. Have you gotten coffee at a local café that simply wasn’t worth the long wait? The problem might be how long it took for the coffee to be made!

WHY YOUR COFFEE TASTES BITTER & 6 WAYS TO FIX IT
From club.atlascoffeeclub.com
- THE CLOCK’S TICKING. Over-cooking your coffee is one of the most common reasons your brew tastes bitter. Much like tea, coffee gets its flavor from steeping in hot water.
- IN (TOO) HOT WATER. Lots of people bring their water to a boil and get right to brewing. But 212°F is actually too hot for coffee brewing! This is another way that coffee gets over-cooked.
- QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. It’s a sad fact of life—not all coffee is created equal. The problem with cheap coffee? It’s over-roasted to cover up imperfections caused by low-altitude growing and mass harvesting.
- TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING. Don’t get too carried away with the good stuff. Adding too much coffee relative to the amount of water you use is an easy way to make your coffee taste too strong and in many cases bitter.
- THAT DAILY GRIND. Sometimes when you grind your coffee too finely, you can over-extract and expose the coffee in the process. Much like over-cooking, this leads to a bitter brew.
- A CLEAN SLATE. The leftovers from your last few brews can add up fast, and the math isn’t always pretty. The old coffee residue often adds bitterness and makes your latest brew taste stale.
