I've never drunk a single cup of coffee in my life. It's not something I'm proud of or that makes me feel special, but now I've done it for so long that I don't want to do it on principal.
I ain't giving up coffee any time soon, it tastes too good. Also I don't really notice the addictive or increased energy effects of coffee. I don't drink it super often usually just on weekends. Am I just weird or am I expecting caffeine to act in a way that it doesn't?
Caffeine is a bitch to kick, I had terrible migraines when I cut back
I’m curious as to why.
Actual health concerns like heart palpitations, drinking a diuretic, or difficulty sleeping? Heck, just want to kick the caffeine addiction or cost?
Sure. Good idea to quit.
Quitting because of some bullshit misinformation like a colon cleanse or something? Whatever. (FTR coffee may offer some protection against colorectal cancer).
Coffee Stain on Teeths, bad breath, but most importantly, it saves money. In college is common to see people unable to focus without coffee, and crave constantly before a study session, I do wonder if the habit of drinking coffee could be harming the ability to focus without it
I'm sure there are a lot of studies about coffee, and I completely agree, that they improve focus, but the withdrawal could be more harmful to concentration than without it (e.g the person who doesn't drink caffeine could had better baseline focus compared to folks on withdrawal)
Could be environmental or fair labor concerns.
Valid.
Coffee is anti me
Same. I'll admit I've never been much for coffee to begin with, but in the past, when offered, I'd have some to be polite. Today, though, coffee does unspeakable things to my insides that I try to avoid it at all costs.
My understanding is that for about 1/3 people, coffee acts as a crazy flush system
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.
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.
...Like a dog that doesn't (and shouldn't) drink coffee?
I am for tea now
Coffee is love, coffee is life.
I'll drink coffee til the bitter end.. of my cup.
As an espresso person, yes they will come crawling back
