I have tried so many coffees. I have a 25 bar espresso machine (15 bar? i forget), a bunn commercial vacuum-flask machine, a generic k-cup and a french press. I've done cold brew myself, many many times. I've had every brew at CB&TL, starbucks, The Human Bean, Dutch Bros coffee co. I've tried most brands and most roasts. I do like light roasts, except i "feel" they're a bit too caffiene-y. I just really like tea, more. PG Tips, Uncle Lee's green, tisanes of all descriptions. It's more "refreshing" to me. Personal preference. also i noted the reason i don't mind the cream, other than it's delicious - i need literal fat for certain medications. If i don't have coffee a couple hours after getting up, i'll eat a tablespoon of peanut butter for the same result.

> I do like light roasts, except i "feel" they're a bit too caffiene-y. As I understand it, the darker the roast the more caffeine has been “burnt” off, so this would explain what you’re describing.

  Right, however, apparently the light roasts i have tried are darker than the darkest roasts of ... whatever supplier someone else uses. It's weird that i feel like we're talking about illicit drugs.

You're not wrong; light roast is reportedly higher in caffeine. What I find interesting is that pour-over produces such better results than a drip coffee maker, which seems to be doing essentially the same thing. I guess having the grounds totally submerged makes that much difference. I'm sure someone has rigged up a microcontroller-based automated pour-overer.
