Anon is me irl, I tried alcohol once and it was disgusting. Same for coffee, I have no idea why people drink it unless they’re addicted to the caffeine.
Because when you get over/get used to the bitterness, theres a lot of flavor in coffee. You just need your senses to either acclimate to it, or you need to get older. As you age, you lose sensitivity in some taste receptors which makes formerly overpowering flavors less offensive.
Same thing for tea, and cheese, and most things kids hate but adults love. Thats why youre supposed to try things again every 5-10 years.
I actually like the taste of black coffee. At one time I also had decaf coffee so that I could drink it in the evening!
I do this now. coffee is a great after dinner drink.
Couldn't be the it's just you who doesn't like the taste, right?
I looooove the taste of nice coffee. Pourover and especially cold brew. Black.
It makes my tummy angry though :c
That first cup of black coffee in the morning is my factory reset. Best way to start the day
I’m now fully cold brew, and I’ve been cheating on black coffee by putting a tiny bit of white chocolate syrup in it. Someone suggested monin brand and it’s delicious. I have to be careful though because it’s way too easy to put too much in. It’s like a chain coffee shop drink but instead of 300+cal it’s like 20.
Funnily enough I can't stand the taste of alcohol, but I love a well made coffee. Then again if you're American then I completely understand your position, American coffee is some of the worst coffee I've ever seen, it looks and tastes like dirty water. A good coffee is rich with flavor and has a nice consistency.
On alcohol, there are a lot of different tasting kinds with very different flavours
On coffee, that one actually requires you to keep drinking it until you get used to the bitterness. It has a lot of flavours in it, but you kind of need to hold your tongue for ransom until your brain goes, "Fuck it I refuse to register bitter anymore"
On both, a lot of it is genuine crap. ESPECIALLY in North America
