    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.

    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 🙏
