So you’re really asking about people who dislike coffee but drink it regularly anyway for caffeine? Are there a lot of people in this situation?

[-] Tujio@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Me, unfortunately. Never picked up the taste for coffee, but I accidentally got hooked on caffeine through energy drinks, which are way worse for you. Now I'm trying to acquire the taste for coffee at a late stage to wean myself off energy drinks.

I say this as a coffee drinker: try tea. There's way more flavor options to help you ease into it. Start with some fruity flavors and work your way toward the more bitter stuff (if you ever want to get there)

Drinking tea actually expanded my palate enough to learn how to enjoy black coffee. It wasn't until I started brewing my own including cleaning the machine myself that it started coming out good enough to really look forward to.

I've tried and failed to enjoy black coffee so many times until I realized it's the mouth feel. I don't prefer it with sugar but I need milk or creamer for it to be palatable!

Somewhat ironically I can't stand milk in tea.

I can only put milk in English or Indian teas.

I can't do it at all lol

The thing I like least about coffee is the bitterness but it's the thing I love most about tea

[-] ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bad coffee can be really bad when it comes to texture. Grounds have ruined more than one cup of coffee since I've been drinking it regularly. Valid complaint.

I'm a big fan of my Aeropress

Seconding the idea of tea. My schedule doesn't allow the amount of bathroom breaks I would need if I consumed enough tea to get the caffeine I need, but I would prefer tea over anything else given the chance.

I learned to drink coffee with chocolate milk mixed in, then after a week black coffee was palatable. Parents drank excessive levels so it was always available, no one had milk or sugar in it so.. I guess I learned it fast out of convenience :-)

You don't have to dislike, you can be neutral about it, not care about it, you just drink it for the caffeine.

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've definitely met people like that when I was in college. It was pretty uncommon though

[-] eagleth@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

If energy drinks and tea weren't a thing then yeah... but they are so I'm guessing not really. Then again if coffee were the only caffeine option I probably wouldn't have a caffeine addiction...

Me. Milk and sugar makes it actually tasty.
