What is childish about sugar?

sugar in coffee is like ketchup on a hot dog. the only reason it's there is to mask the flavor of something their undeveloped taste buds can't appreciate.

It doesn't mask the flavour at all. It enhances it. Much like the sugar in chocolate.

Can't magically make shit beans into good coffee with brewing gadgets like would have you think.

Get your water right - find a local roaster who is doing good coffee, and ask what their water composition is.

Wrong. Coffee is roasted to over 200c. Water is not going to burn your coffee. High temperature leads to faster extraction, and that's about it.

Try cafes until you find a coffee that blows your socks off. Buy coffee from whoever roasts for them.

This. Also make sure you're using enough coffee and letting it brew for the right amount of time.

Is it even possible to make good coffee with this?

good bean

good extraction
thats it

Is it even possible to bait any harder than this?

Try a lighter roast instead of cream and sugar
