Remember that drink I invented yesterday? (oc)

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

[u/Megalesios]

I'm convinced that all the people saying that everyone thinks coffee tastes bad and are just drinking it for the caffeine have some sort of impairment in their theory of mind or empathy circuits or something.

Sometimes people just like stuff that you don't like. And no, it's not because of a trade-off or an addiction or an aquired taste. Why do you think decaf even sells at all?

Your taste is individual, not universal.

But also I think it's an issue with people being unable to recognize their opinion is less valid due to limited experience. If someone says "well actually I've had coffee that tastes like x y z not just the bad coffee we've all tried that tastes like shit" the person is allowed to say no thanks I don't want to try it, but we're also all allowed to say that person has an invalid opinion based on limited experience.

They usually say "coffee tastes bad and you are faking your enjoyment of it"

God I wish this was more understood. Opinions are not all created equal.
