Light roasts relly don’t do any of that for me at all

Sounds like light roasts aren't for you, mate, and that's perfectly fine!

For light roasts, I tend to brew light (less grounds or more water), which captures the subtle floral or fruity notes of the beans. It's always more acidic, though, of which I am not a fan. My tongue eventually gets used to the acidity, and I don't notice it as much. However, I have to be in the mood to let my tongue adjust (this doesn't usually occur in the mornings when, I, like you, am looking for comfort in a cup).
