    Man I hate coffee. Tastes like ash in water.

    I have high sensitivity towards some tastes. Beer is also not palatable for me.

      Not sure why you’re being down voted.

      Personally I love the taste of coffee, but I can see how high “tastitivity” could make it unpleasant.

        People take it personally maybe 😆💔

        But yeah, coffee definitely feels like a love it or hate it kind of beverage.

      It sounds like you have had a bunch of dark roasts. Maybe try a light roast and see if it tastes the same?

        It doesn’t taste the same, nor smell the same, but it all tastes bad. For me, it’s like asking me to try different brands of cigarettes. I’ll still cough no matter the subtle or big differences.

          I hear what your saying. But I enjoy coffee. But if you have tried different types it might not be for you.

            It definitely isn’t for me – I know that from my experiences with it. I’m 38 years old, I’m fairly certain after this long. 😄

      Coffee is the same for me. Beer used to be the same, but I got used to it - still doesn’t taste great, but cold it’s acceptable. But not coffee, I never got used to it.

        That’s the thing, I have no interest in subjecting myself to things until they are acceptable lol. I like eating and drinking things that are inherently good to begin with. Things that are good for me, and to me. 😅

      Same on both counts, except with a little creamer/sugar, it can taste good!

      Beer big nope, no amount of flavor will remove the smell/taste of piss for me.

      Like ash? That’s wild. My partner also doesn’t like the taste, though she does like the smell. I wonder if there’s some genetic stuff at play, since I don’t know how else it could taste anything like ash.

      Funny, after water, beer and coffee are my two most consumed drinks. I like whisky too but haven’t been drinking as much lately. It kind of comes and goes.
