Idk you ever see a frog? Gotta be like top 5 moments every time >

Top 2-3 for me tbh >

Unless you hate coffee with the fiery rage of a thousand burning suns. >

How can that be? >

By the time I put enough things into coffee to make it palatable to me I’m drinking sweetened milk. It’s just far too bitter for me. I do like the smell though. >

Try adding a pinch of salt. It counteracts the bitterness. 😉 >

Meh, I’ve made it 39 years without needing coffee every morning, I see no reason to change that. >

What coffee do you people drink!? The first time I tried it I hated it and still do to this day. >

Coffee I make at home is mid mid mid
Tim hortons and mcdonalds coffee is the shit, don't care what coffee snobs say, they taste really good. >

Maccas has bomb coffee and I'm sick of defending it to coffee snobs also... Don't have a tim hortons in my neck of the woods though. >

I prefer maccas coffee anyways. >

Is that a brand or a chain coffee place? >

It's what Australians call mcdonalds >

Thanks! >

No problem :) >

I’ve never had any.
First time I smelled it I said NOPE and never tried it. >

I love the smell of coffee. I am not a big fan of the drink though. >

I can dig that, it’s how I feel about apple pie.
It’s two things that normally weird people out about me instantly:


I’m born and raised in Baltimore but DEADLY allergic to seafood and shellfish


I’ve never had coffee >

Dude. I'm so sorry about the seafood and shellfish allergy. That has to suck cause you're in one of the prime spots for seafood. Maryland is one of the states known for seafood. 
I don't think it's too weird that you've never had coffee. Coffee is such an acquired taste. 
Do you not like cooked fruit or is it just an apple pie thing? >

Just an apple pie thing. Like when I tasted pies as a child pumpkin was like “hmm this is fine”, sweet potato was like “the gods created this directly” Apple pie was like “oh”
My favorite pie is cheeseburger pie
And yes all my life I’ve been tortured by my allergies, would be fun on dates and I have to ask the person “please don’t order seafood” they proceed to tell me how they love seafood more than their family, and now 20 years later she sneaks out with her mom, our son, and her best friend to go get it lol. >

Nope.
I don't get people's obsession with it, and I've lived with an Italian.
It's horrible, bitter stuff that no matter how much I drink, I can't get used to.  I can *tolerate* it, even more so if I can put some milk in it, but I don't get the fuss.  I only ever have it when there is nothing else and I'm thirsty and it's usually quite easy for other people to arrange for you (e.g. if you're visiting people).
I bought a couple of coffee advent calendars for my work colleagues over Christmas, so we have a lot of coffee leftover to get through, so I'm using them up but I still don't really see the point of it.
And the caffeine?  I'm literally immune to caffeine, because I drink so much cola.  The caffeine has absolutely no effect on me, I could literally down espresso after espresso after espresso, late at night, and then just fall asleep.  So how these people who "must have a coffee" don't get to that same point, I don't understand.  It must be psychosomatic.
I don't even get caffeine withdrawal headaches any more if I stop (I know, because I have proven it to myself and other several times... if I stop having any caffeine for months at a time, I have no withdrawal symptoms, and it still has no "boosting" effect when I do later have it).  I drink cola because it's cheap, sweet, readily available and tastes of something.  I don't care if it's caffeine-free, so long as it's not diet (which just tastes funny to me).
And coffee-flavoured anything tastes like crap (tiramisu!).  It's like eating some sort of spicy burnt soil.
And even though I drink a ton of cola, I wouldn't ever drink cola in the morning to "wake me up", even from 25+ years ago starting from where I never drank it to now where I have it all the time.  It wouldn't occur to me and I wouldn't bother.
I don't get what people see in it, personally. >

I do get caffeine withdrawal headaches but I also use caffeine to help stop migraines when I get them (Excedrin migraine has caffeine in it). >

There's nothing better in this world than the first sip of an ice cold beer after a long day.
