      I shared that opinion for the first 35 years of my life. It turns out I just hadn’t tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too… I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I’m not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days.

      Never ever touch instant coffee. I’m not even sure how people call that stuff coffee.

      I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26.

          Coffee gelato is my go to. I hate coffee as a drink unless it’s sugary Starbucks gunk!

          I only use it when very sleep deprived and struggle at work. I get shaky and heart palpitations

        Instant works is cheap and put tumeric pepper honey and soy in it tastes not bad. I gave trying to have fancy coffee at home years ago. Saved a fortune on buying average stove top stuff. It’s still not a huge step up from instand imo compared to the great stuff you can get everywhere in Melbourne.

        I still have some perculator coffee and a moka pot of course for when people come over.

      I don’t dislike it, but it makes me feel peculiar. Basically just don’t see what all the fuss is about and can’t be bothered.
