The coffee I made just awful

Maybe I am suck at cooking, or make anything. The starbucks coffee machine at my work place didn't work ever since last Friday, and until today we back to work, nobody fix it. So, without a choice, I tried to make my own coffee, use the old coffee pot, add the caffeine powder, and hot water to it. When it done brewing, I pour the first cup, and the first sip I knew it was just sucks. Anyway, I have to tolerate it, since I don't have much time on making good coffee, or make any correction to it. Luckily, it still help me awake while I was working. I just didn't know what went wrong when I made that coffee.

I'm assuming you can buy instant coffee at your place of work. Maybe you should have tried that. I think you've just been used to having that same coffee for a long time that your taste buds are looking for it and hoping to be satisfied with the same taste that your Starbucks coffee machine was bringing. Anyway, maybe next time you can try to buy something else if you think you can't make good coffee. But, I think you just need some practice making your own coffee until you get what you want.

You must have placed too much coffee into the pot than the usual amount that is why it didn't taste that good. But if you do it everyday, you'll get the hang of it.

Hello Kingparker, Did you add sugar? coffee with out sugar isn't going to work. I like to add sugar and a bit of milk or cream.
