OC Remember that drink I invented yesterday? (oc)

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.

Huh, this is an interesting angle. I've always thought that coffee smelling great but tasting bad was a universal opinion. Not judging your tastes but I think that's interesting.

I like coffee flavored things and I'll drink heavily sugared and cream coffee occasionally but I don't like it on its own. I personally don't feel coffee helps me stay awake, and there are way better drinks out there anyways. (Like Sanpelegrino)

I personally love the taste of coffee! I used to hate it, but took a course on coffee brewing at a college on a whim and it gave me an appreciation for it. I had so much black coffee in those months that I developed a tolerance, then a taste for it. I’ve heard a lot of more bitter foods are like that, like black licorice or really anything known as an acquired taste. You have to have a lot of it before your body stops going “bitter! Bad! Poison!” and appreciating the other flavors present
