At what age, if ever, did you start regularly consuming coffee?

THIS!

Coffee is a very distinct taste and I can taste it even if it's been added to things. Like the whole "adding coffee to chocolate cake mix enhances the chocolate flavor" thing that bakers do. No, it just makes it taste like you added coffee!

Same! This is why I drink *a lot* of tea.

I think I had been working at ⭐️bucks for a solid three years before I started actually enjoying coffee drinks beyond the “put a single ounce of espresso in this giant cup of hot chocolate” kinds

I am a weirdo who likes my dark rich bitter witch's brew coffee I guess.
I do put spices in with the ground beans sometimes?

Coffee *is* nasty. I spent 10 years in the Army and never once got the habit. I'll stick to Mt Dew for my caffeine, thank you.

erikamoen.bsky.social•75 days ago

Do the Dew!

I like the SMELL of coffee! I like the taste of coffee through a kiss. But anything more direct than that is :c

I’m the same with scotch. Love the aroma… CANNOT drink it straight.

xehtfodrol.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'll never forget when I opened one of my favorites, an Islay scotch, in a hotel room, and three people immediately turned their head because of the intense aroma.

I hear you and feel heard!

ericleitzen.bsky.social•75 days ago

More for meeeeeeeee

friskymakes.bsky.social•75 days ago

I relate to this so much. Love the smell, but don’t really want to drink it. (I do like coffee ice cream tho! But I think it’s mostly because of the mostly milk/sugar to barest hint of coffee ratio)

If coffee tasted like Coffee Nips candy I'd drink two pots a day…

dmh3000.bsky.social•75 days ago

I started when I was a teenager, would just drink cappuccinos or add in a shit ton of milk, but I kept getting headaches after so I stopped and went back to hot chocolate.

What is your take about tiramisù ? I also dislike coffee but that italian dessert is my favorite in spite of the presence of the devil's grain.

erikamoen.bsky.social•75 days ago

Good texture but it tastes too much like coffee 😛

franckripoux.bsky.social•75 days ago

I make my own to be sure to have the right amount (aslo known as "very few").

Have you ever tried black blood of the earth? It’s by @funranium.bsky.social and it actually tastes how coffee smells, very strong and when added to hot chocolate the smell and the taste actually match.

Once upon a time, Erika might have had the opportunity to try Rich's bounty. That was a while ago though.

I have a friend in his 70s who was told as a kid he would like coffee when he grows up. He says he still hasn't grown up.

ohcoleman.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'm so nostalgic for those weak ass internet cafe mochas circa 2002

erin-p.bsky.social•75 days ago

Coffee, no matter how high-quality the beans are, how carefully it’s roasted, how well it’s prepared, has this funky note to its flavor that I can’t describe, but it’s a major turn-off. Tea and chocolate are my drugs of choice.
