#but when you have a slightly nicer machine and even mid-level beans it creates a way more drinkable flavor

[roughentumble]

i drink coffee because it tastes good to me.

i cant remember a time in my adult life where i didnt like coffee, but i started drinking it more regularly while i had a job at dunkin donuts, because we got free drinks on our breaks so i got to try all sorts of flavor pumps i'd never had before. the caffine doesnt really effect me, or at least doesnt seem to effect me the way it effects other people? so i can drink it without so many side effects, i can drink it just for taste

i dont drink it so much these days, but just because i find the process of making a cup to be a hassle. but its nice, when i feel like it!

when im having a dessert, a straight coffee pairs nicely because it's like the bitterness sweeps away the sweetness with each bite+sip. like a yummy palate cleanser. when i make the coffee into a cold sweet drink, then the bitterness of the coffee adds a flavor dimension to the sweetness that makes it nice, it's different from just drinking like a milkshake or whatever. and when i have a cafe au lait, it makes for a nice rich drink but it's still mellowed out by the milk.

these days i only have it once in a while as a treat, but it's a treat to me. soooo. that's why i drink it lmao

People who drink coffee: why did you start?

I don't drink coffee and I've never wanted to, but that's obviously ~not normal~, so I'm curious why most people do start drinking it.
