A lot of people think coffee has one taste. It does not. It isn't all that burnt to hell flavor like you get from Starbucks or most other places. A nice light roast will be more fruity. If you get the chance, I'd recommend trying a naturally processed coffee, which is where the seed is left in the fruit while it ferments and is then removed, so it gets a lot more of the fruit flavors.
I'd also say the same thing for beer, but even more so. Beer is like soup. There's so many different ways to make it with different ingredients. Budweiser, or similar, is what most people try, and it's shit. There's a massive world of beer though, with things like sours that can taste like wine, fruit juice, or candy, to stouts that can have coffee or chocolate notes, and so much more.
You have to have an open mind and explore. There may not be coffee you like (the number of flavors is broad, but still more limited), but I can promise you I could find beer you like. My mom used to say she hates beer, but I've found a good number that she enjoys because there isn't just one flavor.
I live in Australia. We are widely known for our quality and variety of both coffee and beer, and I can tell you I'm in the same boat as the other guy. It doesn't matter what flavours you try to use to mask it, the bad taste of the beer or coffee still comes through. I imagine it's like those people that say cilantro tastes like soap, and even a small amount in a dish makes the entire thing taste like soap, even if they didn't know it was in there.
Thanks, people have been offering me fine beer and coffee my whole life since puberty hit. Everything tastes like shit to me, I'm sorry. Some people just don't like coffee or beer. ๐ And I'm perfectly happy not to need to drink them both. There's plenty of other things to enjoy. Like tea. Fruit juices. A gin and tonic perhaps. A mild non-alcoholic ginger beer.
But coffee can go sit in a corner.
Yeah, that's totally fine if you've actually been open to it and given it a shot! That's great. I just hate when people drink shitty beer (or anything else) and decide they don't like it. You aren't supposed to like those. They're just cheap.
(You can also not want to consume something and not have an opinion on if you like it or not, for those who just want to avoid them for whatever reason you have. That's perfectly good too.)
You seem like a reasonable person. Thanks for backing me (and others) up like that. ๐ค
You can't just say all that and not name any brands. Sure do I start?
You start local. I can't help you with that unless you live near me.
