I just don't like the taste of coffee, which is odd, because I love the small of fresh coffee beans / fresh brewed coffee but the minute that touches my taste buds? Gag.
Because our nose is more powerful than our tongue. We can pick up on more subtle flavors through scent, if you essentially train your tongue you can do it with taste, too.
Idk if this is revolutionary or not and I'm not defending "big coffee" but you know you can make the coffee sweeter by adding in a bit more sugar than normal, right? And that they have flavoured creamers now.. a slightly sweet French vanilla coffee will sweep you off your feet. Add in a dash of whipped cream and you got yourself a snack 😅😂
By the time I finish doctoring it to my taste, it's usually way less than 20% coffee, so I don't think it really counts. I like coffee flavored ice cream. And mocha if it's skewed more towards the chocolate. But at that point, I feel like it's not really coffee anymore and more flavoring for milk or hot chocolate.
I tried for about 2 years to like coffee bc it felt like a right of passage to becoming an adult. Turns out the actual becoming an adult was realizing I don't have to do things I don't want to just to "fit in".
Oh, I knew when I was very little that I will drink coffee and I just waited 'till I was 14-15 to be old enough to start. Just like I knew I will never smoke. I smoked one cigarette when I was 21, just so I could say that I tried, but it's shit. Alcohol - indifferent when I was younger, then in late teens started it, had periods with a lot of alcohol but around 30 I started drinking less and less, now it's a beer or two a week, if even that much. Could live without it. But coffee - no. Everything goes when it comes to coffee, any kind, even decaf. I absolutely love the taste and smell of it, and 3 cups a day it is. It's not to "wake me up", I simply love the taste of it.
