Same here. When people ask me why I don’t drink coffee I have to explain to them that to me it tastes like a bars ashtray smells at the end of a busy night. The funny thing is everyone in my family loves coffee, I’m just the black sheep that drinks tea.
“Oh you just haven’t had good coffee” nope sorry bud, I’ve had high end coffee, low end coffee, flavored coffee, everything. I even had a supervisor who basically lived on coffee and did everything he could to find a blend that was palatable to me, still nothing.
It doesn’t taste the same, nor smell the same, but it all tastes bad. For me, it’s like asking me to try different brands of cigarettes. I’ll still cough no matter the subtle or big differences.
Coffee is the same for me. Beer used to be the same, but I got used to it - still doesn’t taste great, but cold it’s acceptable. But not coffee, I never got used to it.
That’s the thing, I have no interest in subjecting myself to things until they are acceptable lol. I like eating and drinking things that are inherently good to begin with. Things that are good for me, and to me. 😅
It’s definitely a taste that not everyone likes. I personally love coffee with a bit of sugar (1/2 a teaspoon per espresso shot). I also love espressos but hate Americanos. Maybe it’s the type of drinks you tried?
Drinks? I have just been given regular(?) northern European style coffee (maybe strong?) to taste, but every type of coffee just smells a different type of ash to me. I don’t think it will matter.
Indeed 😁 And I’m living my life more than content not having to drink it, or be addicted to it (i.e. having to pour it into me in order to not have headaches/properly wake up etc). Feels great. I feel like I have some sort of super power when I feel fine not having had my first coffee of the day, and everyone else at work is rushing to the coffee machine.
That’s what I’m trying to avoid lmao. Luckily I have a job where quality coffee isn’t readily available, so I can only drink what I have at home. Thanks to that, I enjoy coffee, but me feeling good in the morning isn’t dependent on it.
Funny, after water, beer and coffee are my two most consumed drinks. I like whisky too but haven’t been drinking as much lately. It kind of comes and goes.
Man I hate coffee. Tastes like ash in water.
I have high sensitivity towards some tastes. Beer is also not palatable for me.
Not sure why you’re being down voted.
Personally I love the taste of coffee, but I can see how high “tastitivity” could make it unpleasant.
People take it personally maybe 😆💔
But yeah, coffee definitely feels like a love it or hate it kind of beverage.

Exactly. Many who like coffee just can’t imagine how someone can just not even learn to love it, no matter how hard they try.
Yep, I walking to my current department head when this came up, he literally stop talking and just stared at me.
It sounds like you have had a bunch of dark roasts. Maybe try a light roast and see if it tastes the same?

I hear what your saying. But I enjoy coffee. But if you have tried different types it might not be for you.
It definitely isn’t for me – I know that from my experiences with it. I’m 38 years old, I’m fairly certain after this long. 😄

Very understandable! I’ve also stopped drinking beer, because it never started tasting good.
😆👌 Very reasonable outcome IMO!
I don’t care for the taste, but the smell is truly fantastic.
Also like ash 👌
Found the mormon. Are you also afraid of magnets?
🤡
The fuck does religion have to do with coffee 😆 Reaching too far off the edgy edge there, Edgerton.
3 edgy 5 me

Yeah, so it’s just probably not for you. Some people love coffee, some don’t. It’s the way of life.

You seem to be in a good place then with your coffee sitch. Sounds great 😌
No no, coffea.
Ita coffee and tea together.
🤮
What a way to ruin some tea.
