As someone has said, pre ground is a losing battle and any coffee you buy from a shop where they don’t show the roast date (super markets etc) will also restrict you on good taste
However, you might have some luck adding salt to your brew to improve the taste. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PUWQQ-joKE





This type of reporting is frustrating and I really should get off the internet.
These surveys are done by consultanting companies that have large investment holdings. For example in this report one of the surveys is from Mercer, who has an investment wing that has a AUM (asset under management) 1 of $727 Bn according to their website 2. Would there potentially be any sort of chance someone like Mercer never put out a survey that goes against the bullish market driven by AI speculation? Obviously journalists won’t think about these things anymore because that will effect their click rate.
