I like roasting my own coffee, dark to Italian roast. After the coffee sits about 24-48 hours after roast is the best. Milk/creamer sort of takes the bitter out letting you taste the bean a little but (of course you can go overboard with the creamer), at least that's my take. Of course I drink it plain a lot too, as I don't always have creamer at work. I've got my boss addicted to my coffee now, to the point where he pitches in some money occasionally. I guess to ensure I keep bringing some in lol.
It's simple to roast....but time consuming since I am only able to do small batches at a time, but way better than the stuff they sell at the store. I got a small roaster, a camp grill and as long as it isn't freezing I sit outside and roast it. You don't need a fancy coffee bean, just unroasted. I've been buying coffee from Smokin' Beans Coffee Co.
Don't ever ask me for coffee then, I am the anti-snob (I guess) instant coffee consumer. I'm pretty sure I am more of a snob with the milk I use on it to be honest

Cream has always been to heavy for me when it comes to beverages, so I avoid it. Milk is fine enough.
Really, what you describe is just hellish to me, I always have such a hard time doing much of anything in the morning other than shower that having to make batches of coffee is just mind blowing to me. I even boil water, make some tea and then put it in a Thermo the night before just so I have to do as little as possible in the mornings. I just can't with life before going to work man
