(and can't post for 4 years!)

when I make coffee on the weekends and offer my gf some she puts a bunch of milk and sugar in it and then drinks like 1/8 of a cup before throwing it out, so now I just don't offer to make her any coffee and also hit her sometimes

if you say you don't drink tea because of health reasons you deserve to be treated like a child because you are stupid.

Weren't there a couple studies that showed regular caffeine drinkers basically had to have caffeine to maintain normal levels of alertness and brain functionality?

I drink tea maybe once or twice a week and coffee maybe once a weekend. I like the taste of both but I also like being able to wake up in the morning without needing coffee.

tastes good if you've already burnt all your taste buds away smoking.

Nah it tastes good if you don't have a baby palette that hasn't acclimated to the taste of bitter*. Same reason why some people assume everyone who likes IPAs is faking it I guess.

*Yeah I know well prepared coffee isn't supposed to taste that bitter, no need to sperg about it. The point is if you've eaten/drank enough bitter things even 7-11 black coffee will taste okay.

When I was a kid, my parents would constantly gently caress up making coffee, filling the house with the stench of burnt coffee, so even a properly made cup still makes me vaguely queasy. The also couldn't make iced tea for poo poo so I can't stand it either.

I like hot tea but can only have it when it starts getting cooler. So I'm basically stuck drinking water until like late-September.

I stopped drinking coffee for a few years a while back and it was great, I was more even-keeled throughout the day and didnt get that afternoon slump. Now I'm back drinking it again because I love that pinon poo poo from trader joes.

Maybe you should stop blaming your parents for being a perpetual child and just grow up? I mean it's not like you have to like coffee or iced tea but it's really easy to acquire the taste just by exposing yourself to it if you want to. Your parents aren't the ones holding you back here.

You're crocked, aren't ya?
When I was younger I always thought when I became an adult I would like the taste of coffee. I still can't drink it, when I buy a cup I literally have to choke it down because it just takes like disgusting burnt water, same with tea. No matter how much cream and sugar I add it just tastes disgusting. Same with beer... I think it's because I drink and eat a lot of sweet stuff honestly.

You don't put loving cream in tea, you add milk (and sugar if you want). Tea with cream in it is disgusting.

I drink coffee (black) first thing in the morning, then a few cups of tea (milk & sugar/sweetener) throughout the day at work. Maybe another cup of tea when I get back, but never after 8pm.

A lot of people who don't like tea or coffee have only ever tried it poorly made. They then assume it all tastes like that. Or, some of them legitimately have different tastes...

I actually like the taste of tea and/or coffee, but don't enjoy drinking hot liquids. I thought iced tea/coffee was a good compromise, but multiple people have informed me that drinking them cold makes you worse than Hitler :shrug:

I drink iced coffee if it's a hot day. I prefer it milky and sweetened though, unlike my hot coffee which I like black and unsweetened.

Iced tea is just a travesty.

I love unsweetened iced tea and black iced coffee because I'm a pansy when it comes to hot liquids in my mouth and it takes forever for coffee to cool enough to be drinkable for me.

If you're not drinking espresso you're not drinking real coffee. That Starbucks poo poo you Americans drink isn't real coffee either.

espresso is over too quickly to be that enjoyable but it's good sometimes--like drinking straight shots.

starbucks is actually not bad coffee for being widely available all over the god drat place and much better than a lot of your typical front desk "free coffee" drip poo poo or mcdonalds "coffee".

not the best choice if you can avoid it and have local or better chain alternatives like peet's coffee

You can make more then just short blacks with an espresso machine you know? Everywhere in Australia has better coffee then Starbuck because you don't serve coffee here unless you have an espresso machine and know how to use it.
