we hate
"We" don't. I fucking love it. If I could drink significantly more without disrupting sleep, I would.
Your body adapts to bitterness. But most importantly, there's a difference between buying good coffee, grinding and preparing it how you like it, versus buying 8 month old burnt pieces of leaves and some coffee from Walmart and shoving sugar with vegetable oil on top.
It doesn't even need to be expensive or special coffee - just give slightly more mental effort to a drink you consume everyday.
- "Creamers" 🤢

I hate the taste of coffee so I don't drink it. Why are you drinking something you don't like?
- I don't know, boost energy? Though woth that logic, it's a lie since I don't feel anything after.
  
  If you just want the caffeine you could just take a pill.

The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.
- I happily drink instant coffee. I even prefer it to something like Starbucks coffee.
  
  It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅
- my mom only drank instant coffee while i grew up and hated drip coffee. i had some of her coffee here and there wondering what the taste was like, and really hated it until the first time I had some drip coffee. still drink it to this day and cannot stand instant.

Who is we ?
I agree, there is tons of badly made coffee like the automatic vending machinc, or the Americanfast food burning hot coffee served in half a litre buckets.
But a decent blend done with an expresso machine or at least a moka machinc would be delicious

I thought you meant the taste of roasted beans. Turns out you actually meant coffee. I don't understand why you drink something you hate

I like a good coffee, can taste wonderfully.
However, a bad coffee is just pure liquid shit.
- The best taste you get out of that is the equivalent of liquid cardboard with tons of sugar.
  
  drop me a message if you around Budapest and I show you some good coffee ;)

I like the taste of coffee a lot, I also really don't like the caffeine high so I order decaf more often than not. Some people don't like the taste; they drink it for the caffeine high, although most of them end up getting white chocolate mochas or frappuccinos is something
