The French Press is the best way to make a cup of top-notch coffee, but I rarely have time to mess with it. I don't make that much at home anyway. I make a LOT of trips to my favorite coffee shop.
One should ALWAYS drink good coffee black....anything else is sacrilege...equivalent to putting ketchup on fillet mignon!
The reason so many people drown their coffee in sugar and cream/milk/etc. is because they are accustomed to drinking inferior, cheap, bitter mass-market coffee. Fresh, high-quality coffee is never bitter, and doesn't need to be sweetened.
There is no such thing as "too strong". Too bitter?.....Yes. Too acidic?....Yes. Too diluted?....Yes. But never too strong.
