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

If your coffee is acrid it’s either poor quality or wasn’t brewed correctly

Coffee is always going to be a little bitter but it can be delicious

Edit: Guys I am not saying you’re not allowed to dislike coffee, I’m just saying it’s not supposed to be super bitter. Waffles, pancakes, etc.

I've never acquired the taste for coffee because the smell is horrible and makes me mildly nauseous. So I don't really know what it tastes like, I couldn't bring myself to take a sip of something that smells like that.

I do know that I hate coffee flavoured things like coffee ice cream and tiramisu.

If you like coffee, enjoy your bean juice, I just don't get it.

I get my caffeine from Diet Coke, but I'm starting to think that's a problem and humans aren't meant to drink 2 or 3 cans of it a day, so I'm switching to pro plus for a while.

my workplace seems to eternally have a new pot of extremely cheap pre-ground coffee brewing, like a store brand that comes in the folgers-style plastic canisters, and it genuinely smells like dirty ass. i couldn't even imagine thinking that coffee is a bad smell before experiencing that, but now i respect coffee smell dislikers.

If I only had access to that style of coffee, I'd think all coffee was awful too.

Office pot coffee is usually terrible, just as bad as pod coffee. It's always over roasted to maintain shelf stability, but somehow still stale, and full of flavorings, stuff like Stevia, that just ruins the taste. No, I don't think metallic artificial caramel would help dirt coffee.

Whole bean coffee is only good for like a week before it starts to go stale, and pre-ground is already so dry the coffee oils have all evaporated. That's the stuff that makes it taste good.

It's like saying you don't like cheese when all you've had is expired Velveeta.

Some people just truly hate coffee no matter what, but I genuinely believe some people have never had a good cup before.

I love coffee. I love coffee flavored things. I won't drink pod coffee or pre-ground. It's gross.
