the caffiene makes it bitter, people seem to like the cafestol, if they using unfiltered coffee, which apparently not good for you. its definitely acquired taste, i did not like it when i was still college, when i drank a stronger for first time.
The crema on top of espressos is also worth mentioning. If you get a big cup of strong coffee from espresso machine and remove the foam from the top it tastes waaaaay less bitter.
