Dreadful like how? Too acidic? Maybe the beans are getting stale. Or the water's off.

Yes, I suppose too acidic. It has this sour aftertaste. Maybe you're right about it being stale. Or maybe it has to do with the heat, in that a hot beverage is just not as appealing right now. I don't know.

As a fellow coffee-identified person, I prescribe a temporary switch to iced coffee.

thanks, tag added. ;)
sadly, the only place to get iced coffee here is starbucks. ack. the part i love is that it's called "iced americano." if you order an Eiskaffee anywhere else, you get coffee with ice cream in it.
