    i heard that there ways to have coffee that’s not all that bitter and instead fruity or nutty. if you live anywhere near a starbucks you can also have basically an expensive sweet milk drink with slight coffee aroma. i personally don’t drink coffee and instead choose to take a caffeine pill in the morning, but people do apparently enjoy their roasted bean juice. I also learned recently that some people just don’t taste bitterness.

      the few times i’ve had the coffee flavour without also being throatfucked by bitterness, it’s been really enjoyable. I especially had a drink at espressohouse (basically swedish version of somewhat less shitty starbucks) which was like hot chocolate but with coffee instead of chocolate, and my god it’s one of the best things i’ve tasted.

      If all coffee could taste like that i’d understand why everyone is obsessed with it, but as it stands i can only assume most people were either born with dysfunctional tastebuds, or have mostly destroyed them over the course of their lives, like how everyone seems to be all but deaf before even reaching 50 years old…

        Who knows. I might not be a bottom, but I am definitely a weak man. I am very sensitive to bitterness, it makes me feel dread and a sense of impending doom, as if I am about to die. I can’t stand that. Some people don’t have that at all.
