I kept trying to get into coffee but like tea I just couldn't. My mouth really dislikes both.
Imo you acquire a taste for it if you ever have a job that starts too early and has readily free coffee available.
Yeah, my mother told me she gained a taste for it in college. I just drank soda still, I never could gain the taste.
Maybe were it free...
You might have the genetics for hating it. I’m old AF meow and I never could Stockholm’s my way into liking it. It just tastes like bitter dirt water.
If you can't Stockholm your way into it, you might wanna make it a bit Sweder (i'm so sorry)
I only recently pulled it off in my 30s, after I got tired of fretting about my teeth from getting my caffeine largely from diet soda. I've taken up black tea as well. The bitterness comes to be a pleasant sting, like the acidity of soda, which by contrast seems to taste more like acid to me all the time.
7 AM shifts made me a coffee addict
5:30am job with a free coffee machine on site got me.
For me it's the anxiety and jitterines that get me, and you don't even get any euphoria to balance out the buzz. I like the taste of coffee and tea, but if I want a boost I rather just take Benzedrine or snort coke.
me too! I hate it! The only one I like is Mate tea that my ex introduced me.too. But I do use sugar.
If you like mate, you should check out guayusa and yaupon. They're in the same family and have similar levels of caffeine, but they taste different.
