Anyone else dislike coffee?

[CR6ZZ]

Or is it just me? Don't like the taste, don't like the smell, don't like coffee flavoured sweets or cakes... Come to that, I don't like tea either....

[calibrax]

It's not just you. I don't like it at all. Never have, and I simply don't get why some people are so into it.

Tea is good though.

[nugget78]

Me either, can't stand the stuff! More of a tea drinker.....

No I don't like tea or coffee either. I feel like a bit of social outcast :-).

[ambuletz]

I don't like coffee or tea either. I also hate it in cakes or anything else. I've used it a couple of times when having to stay up late for uni assignments, even in those cases I've mixed it with hot chocolate powder.

Absolutely agree, although I don't mind tea. But I rarely drink tea. I just drink water, loads of it.

This whole coffee shop culture that has sprung up is just a complete mystery to me.

I rarely drink coffee, once in a while , but thats about it.

Give me tea anyday, an essential to life!

[Dr G]

I wake up early in the morning to grind fresh coffee

[marctwo]

I can't stand it. Or Tea. There are some good alternatives though which I find much more palatable. Rooibos (Redbush) Tea is nice. Also, Barleycup or Caro is much nicer than Coffee.

Tea all day, just don't like coffee, smells nice though.

I don't like coffee or tea. As I child I used to run past or hold my breath as I walked past a coffee bean shop in town as I really hated the smell.

As an adult I spent 10 years working for a company selling a premium coffee. I got used to the smell eventually, but still wouldn't drink it.

[K50 DEL]

yep... can't stand the taste of coffee, though I do love the smell and I also love tiramisu oddly!!

I do however drink more tea than is probably good for me!

[Craikeybaby]

I don't like coffee at all, I drink tea occasionally though.

[Mastodon2]

I like the smell of some types of ground coffee beans, but once you add water they smell disgusting. I find both coffee and tea disgusting to drink. I drink for refreshment, hot drinks seem like the complete opposite of that to me.

[Bullett]

I hate tea, love coffee. Don't like coffee flavoured things though.
I also don't understand the coffee shop thing. I like good coffee.

[Parsnip]

Used to love the smell of it and hate the taste.

Then I moved to Norway and their idea of tea is some fruity bks, so I started drinking coffee - have loved it ever since.

[S10GTA]

It's an age thing. Hated coffee for years, quite like it now.

[Sonic]

Hate the taste and smell of coffee, not bothered by tea either as it doesn't taste of much.

Not sure it is. Used to drink it (and tea) as a teenager, but then realised I was only doing it to fit in (peer pressure and all that) so stopped. I'm now 60 and still hate the stuff. Pretty much only drink cold drinks.

I always drink tea. Quite happily my regular pub serves in a pot with fresh leaves. It's very nice.
