One little tip for people trying to move to black coffee from milk and/or sugar:

Try to find a good light roast, not dark or medium. Light roasts are usually less bitter which is why milk is sometimes added to cut the bitterness.

Coffee preferences are very subjective, this is what worked for me, YMMMV.

What worked for me was switching to pourover coffee (or Aeropress), instead of espresso. I didn’t need the milk anymore.
On the same note, also try Cold brewed coffee, it has lower acidity than hot brewed coffee.
