Some people do. I used to have a local 24hr diner that had the carafe that sat on a burner all day and there was just something about the tar black, bitter abyss of that coffee that I liked.

Once I tried good coffee that was bitter, and floral, and nutty, and somehow also a little sweet; really just a well balanced flavor, I understood the difference.

Everyone has different tastes and it's probable better to say coffee that's only bitter is not quality coffee bean coffee.

My tastes, as do my personality and even uh...IQ, change often and drastically.
