Maybe you taste and smell terrible
Not everything is made with rainbows and unicorn farts.
Some of us are filled with enough self-loathing that black coffee tastes like a treat. >

I like my coffee so black you can float a horse shoe in it, different strokes I guess >

I'll have to remember this one.  I always say that I like my coffee so strong that I just have to break off a chunk and sprinkle a little sugar on it. >

I like coffee, earthy, rich taste to it. Whether it be black coffee or milk coffee. I like it.
When i was younger i never liked it, but i guess it's an acquired taste or my taste palette has just changed over time. >

Water is certainly the OG >

The optimal glug? >

You realize there are literally thousands of ways to make coffee, so maybe the coffee you've been drinking taste and smells terrible because the people who make it dont know how to make coffee >

Idk man. I feel like I’ve tried a lot of different coffees. At this point it feels like I’m a lesbian that’s told I haven’t found the right guy yet. Minus the asshole factor. >

It sounds like your taste buds are not huge on bitter flavors! 
Disliking one of the main tastes isn't uncommon. I'm curious though do you enjoy things like bay leaves, marjoram or ginger? Maybe you just don't like coffee itself. 
Personally bitter is one of my favorite flavors so I'm q big fan >

You’re probably right. I’m not that much of a fan of bay leaves and ginger either… Marjoram I do use in my recipes though. Have you always liked coffee though? The first time you tried it? >

Can't speak for the other guy but I've always liked coffee, even when little. When I was little I'd try to sneak some sips of my parents and grandparents coffee since they wouldn't give me any since I was too young.
I guessing it must be something to do with different taste buds but I'm not biology expert. >

Adding cream and sugar is not how you make coffee taste good. You're making it taste less like coffee and more like a milkshake. If you don't like the flavour of coffee then that's cool, I personally love it. >

Tell me you’ve never even came close to tasting well prepared specialty coffee without telling me so >

This is like the most classic “unpopular opinion” there is lol. You’ll come around some day. I sure did. >

Probably. Didn’t realize it was posted a lot. Maybe when I’m not in my 20s anymore and have less energy, who knows. But for now I can’t care less about it really. >

Half of this sub is complaining about coffee. I believe that makes that opinion rather... popular. >

Tastes like burnt water >

Yeah not a fan of black coffee either, I just don't like it. With a bit of cream and sugar though it's the best thing ever. >

I have the same feeling. The feeling is similar for coffee and for alcoholic drink. Coffee and alcohol taste bad to me.  The reason I still drink them is to pursue their after-effects. Frankly, IMO, if it doesn't taste bad, there wouldn't have needed to be mixtures of those drinks (e.g. latte, mocha,  cocktails, etc).   And for the "better" coffees,  they just taste less bitter, less coffee-like.
