To be fair: caffeine is toxic to insects. It’s not that we enjoy the intended effect like in hot chilies. It’s that the effect differs between insects and mammals
Man I hate coffee. Tastes like ash in water.
I have high sensitivity towards some tastes. Beer is also not palatable for me.
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.
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.
Same here. When people ask me why I don’t drink coffee I have to explain to them that to me it tastes like a bars ashtray smells at the end of a busy night. The funny thing is everyone in my family loves coffee, I’m just the black sheep that drinks tea.
“Oh you just haven’t had good coffee” nope sorry bud, I’ve had high end coffee, low end coffee, flavored coffee, everything. I even had a supervisor who basically lived on coffee and did everything he could to find a blend that was palatable to me, still nothing.
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.
huh, i also think it tastes like ash…
Found the mormon. Are you also afraid of magnets?

The fuck does religion have to do with coffee 😆 Reaching too far off the edgy edge there, Edgerton.
Mormons aren’t supposed to drink coffee.
3 edgy 5 me
I’m an atheist, and I also think coffee is disgusting. 🤯
GODDAMN, JIMMY!
Explanation: While use of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, it was the Arabs of the 15th century AD who discovered that it could be brewed into a drink. While I’m not a coffee drinker myself, both an appreciation for the historical importance of the drink and the fantastic smell makes me thankful for the discovery as well! Truly the world’s first step into modernity 🙏
What was the use before the Arabs?
Chewing the beans, I believe.
just like coca leaves in South America, coca tea came later, and eventually coca cola
Coca Cola, yes.
