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…

apparently we mostly taste less bitterness as we grow older, but that doesn’t seem to apply to me.
if that’s true i don’t think i would have eaten anything as a child
