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)
7 AM shifts made me a coffee addict
5:30am job with a free coffee machine on site got me.
For me it's the anxiety and jitterines that get me, and you don't even get any euphoria to balance out the buzz. I like the taste of coffee and tea, but if I want a boost I rather just take Benzedrine or snort coke.
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.
Anti coffee != anti caffeine
I fucking love coffee (esp black and cold press) but I cannot drink it, it makes me feel like I’m going to die. I miss it so.
(To anyone thinking of saying “why not decaf”
NO, IT HITS WRONG. That’s why I don’t drink NA Beer or smoke movie cigs.)
That stuff might make you live longer but what's the point if you can't enjoy it?
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.
I am for tea now
I have learned that SO MANY coffee drinkers don't understand that certain teas have to be brewed at certain temperatures. They take green, black, white, jasmine and brew all of them into boiling water!
Anyways, I do not get this coffee vs tea feud. I drink it all, sometimes even in the same day, and I thank my ancestors for discovering leaf in hot water and bean in hot water both taste good.
I literally made myself a fresh cup of coffee and also a fresh cup of tea this morning. No ragrets
Lol. It's a joke. I drink both coffee and tea and enjoy both.
I think I lean slightly more towards coffee but not by much. It's mostly because I like cold drinks and cold coffee seems more normal.
This is so wrong, iced tea is perfectly normal. Iced coffee is an abomination invented by weak minds who forgot their coffee cup on the counter and thought it was somehow good to drink.
I'm joking of course, but cold coffee will label you a freak where I'm from.
Hot bean juice > hot leaf juice.
Beans.
I like my morning cup of bean soup
Make it a soy vanilla latte and you got a three-bean* soup going on.
*If you ignore that coffee "beans" are actually seeds and that most cafés use articial vanilla-flavouring.
Coffee: Because the burnt out crust of society needs burnt crustiness in their water.
Hey you can enjoy a light roast.
...Like a dog that doesn't (and shouldn't) drink coffee?
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.
Coffee is love, coffee is life.
Caffeine is a bitch to kick, I had terrible migraines when I cut back
As an espresso person, yes they will come crawling back
