COME for the acrid taste, but STAY for the lack of caffeine!

yall don't like the taste of coffee? it's genuinely one of my favorite beverages, nothing beats a warm cup in the morning with a splash of cream. or a cortado. the smell and taste of it instantly puts me at ease. the caffeine is nice, but i don't mind a decaf either.

100%. I drink decaff just to get at least a hint of the taste of the real thing when I am genuinely overcaffeinated lol. Coffee has so many flavor profiles though! Some people here, saying its dirt water... that's like saying tea is just leaf water! Lol.

To be fair I did start drinking coffee when I was 13 and I think it's a bit of an acquired taste, like a sushi or beer.

Amateur, I has my first cup of coffee when I was 7!

Of course, I didn't start drinking regularly until university.

That said, you should try tea... tea is a huge world compared to coffee!

Sweet summer child 😉 I had my first taste at 2,5 years old and started drinking coffee during family gatherings and holidays when I was around 4. I've always enjoyed somewhat bitter flavours. Kids are really weird.

Wow! You must be the early coffee queen/king 👑

When I was a kid, my mom would cook bitter melon and I hated it 😂

There are probably some people who are even worse, but I'll hold that crown for now 🫅🏽

Ooh, what's bitter melon? I haven't heard of that before 😀

You don't need a huge sum of money!

Just like any other overseas vacation ☺️

I’d say both are a huge world. I drink both. And roast my own coffee 90% of the time. Coffee can be amazing and has many varieties, natural, honey, washed, the type of coffee plant, where it’s grown, how it’s roasted will all impact the flavor.

By that said, there are few things in life worse than a bad cup of coffee or tea.

Wow, nice! Sounds like you know what you're talking about 😊
