Coffee is the best drink ever, but how do we get it to taste as good as it smells?

I think that they're pretty directly related, though maybe that's because I associate the smell with the resultant feeling of being caffeinated. However, I do recall smelling coffee brewing that both did not smell good and then did not taste good either.

If you're genuinely curious, James Hoffman on YouTube is the coffee wizard. All his videos are interesting, even if you couldn't care less about coffee!

YMMV but I find freshly ground, bloomed for 30s before brewing, and 85C aeropress (inverted method) for 90s is my go-to for getting it to taste exactly how I like it. I thoroughly recommend playing around and experimenting to find your own routine, very cathartic.

"though maybe that's because I associate the smell with the resultant feeling of being caffeinated"

Maybe not, as I am not a coffee drinker and don't like being caffeinated - but I really do like the smell of coffee, too.
