I ain’t giving up coffee any time soon, it tastes too good. Also I don’t really notice the addictive or increased energy effects of coffee. I don’t drink it super often usually just on weekends. Am I just weird or am I expecting caffeine to act in a way that it doesn’t?

Same. I’ll admit I’ve never been much for coffee to begin with, but in the past, when offered, I’d have some to be polite. Today, though, coffee does unspeakable things to my insides that I try to avoid it at all costs.

What do you think it is? For me it just flushes my system and gives me a good wake up jolt in the morning. 1 cup or less.

Not sure. I don’t think it’s the caffeine though, because I drink other caffeinated drinks just fine.

My understanding is that for about 1/3 people, coffee acts as a crazy flush system

I kept trying to get into coffee but like tea I just couldn’t. My mouth really dislikes both.

For me it’s the anxiety and jitterines that get me, and you don’t even get any euphoria to balance out the buzz. I like the taste of coffee and tea, but if I want a boost I rather just take Benzedrine or snort coke.

If you like mate, you should check out guayusa and yaupon. They’re in the same family and have similar levels of caffeine, but they taste different.

Imo you acquire a taste for it if you ever have a job that starts too early and has readily free coffee available.

Yeah, my mother told me she gained a taste for it in college. I just drank soda still, I never could gain the taste.

Maybe were it free…

You might have the genetics for hating it. I’m old AF meow and I never could Stockholm’s my way into liking it. It just tastes like bitter dirt water.
