Tasted coffee the first time when I was 7.
Let's see, when will I taste it next time!

I'm 32.

Coffee is sort of like beer: the bitterness is way too strong for kids, but tolerable for adults.

Most people cut it with cream and sugar, but if you have a decent quality coffee it becomes easy to tolerate it black.

I'm 37 and never really developed an appreciation for the bitter taste, so I'm neither a coffee drinker (not even the milk/sugar types) or a beer drinker; I also don't like dark chocolate. I've tried, but it just never became enjoyable.

I'd never drank it until I was 32. I decided to start drinking it because all the soda I've had throughout my life (pretty much addictrd to mountain dew, Dr pepper, and red bull throughout my life) was starting to catch up to me. Soda is way worse for you than coffee, and I wanted a healthier option. I hated it at first but kept drinking it. Now I look forward to it. 2 cups a day, any more than that and I get anxious and jittery. And best of all, haven't had soda since (except the occasional jarittos). Still have never drank alcohol though, addiction runs in my family

I don't understand why people are motivated to "learn to like" drinks that are not even good for us. Excessive sugar, caffeine, alchohol, cigars etc. all normalized to have a addiction to.

Yeah I've understood the same thing, about changing the taste.

Not that I do beer either.

If you get really good coffee, you can get tasting notes like chocolate, cinnamon, almond, etc. and you won't need the creamer.

You can get just regular coffee too and not need the creamer. All about what you like
