To explain my possibly somewhat confused answer:

I used to drink far too much coffee, at which point I did actually like it. I weaned myself off it after realising just how much of it I was drinking, and now don't really like it: it tends to taste much too bitter for me. Decent instant coffees are my preference these days because they're less bitter; Khymos recently suggested adding a small amount of salt, which sounds odd, but I've found does also help a bit. I still treat coffee as nasty-tasting medicine, though.

Actually, if I have any around, I now get emergency caffeine fixes from ProPlus washed down with tea (if it's really needed), on the basis that it's not going to be any worse for me than the coffee...

Other half usually adds a tiny amount of salt and cocoa to the filter when he makes very strong coffee.

I had seen references to salt in coffee before (usually as "proper naval coffee", without explanation), but until recently I'd never seen the science behind it.
