Black coffee made from instant coffee is understandably horrifying and tastes like ammonia smells, but have you considered fresh coffee? I don't mean filter coffee, either, the filter paper absorbs all of the tasty coffee oils, leaving only an ashy aftertaste, I'm talking espresso, moka pot, greek / turkish coffee and french press.

Similarly, if you normally find that you hate dark chocolate, perhaps it is because your chocolate is made with slave labour and also not very good.

I am currently enjoying a fine ten year old aged Java. It is very tasty, and I highly recommend.

    i totally understand that there are people that don't like coffee and will never regardless of how fresh it is, but most of the times we have met someone that does not like it its because they equate coffee with instant- or automatic machine with old beans coffee.

    if people would be able to test different profiles and notice how different the flavour is between them (something like a light roast paper filtered vs a dark roast moka), maybe they would be able to understand there is a lot to explore into coffee and maybe even find a profile they enjoy.

      Hm, I mostly find coffee smells way better than it tastes, but also it just makes me sweat an ungodly amount, which I typically already do in hot weather.

      idk if it's something to cultivate, or I'll just be the pepsi person I guess.
