Coffee - The Haters Club

[Hecube]

Can't stand the smell, can't stand the taste.

I won't even have a coffee-flavored cake.

45 and coffee-free.

That's very interesting and good to know.

I don't like peas.

[dhdfoster]

I think this is going to be a very small club.

[Dr. Tweedbucket]

I like the smell of a cigarette when it is first sparked up, but that's about as far as it goes ...... :red



What was this thread about again :huh



Whoops! coffee is done, gotta go! :idea

[Jack Gilvey]

Cilantro here. No like.

[PVH5150]

Can't stand coffee at all.

And for all the people who whine about needing their coffee for a caffeine fix....drink a hot tea brewed with Tetley British blend bags. 2x the caffeine of coffee and a good taste.

[Jiffy_Jeff]

I don't like coffee either!

[Sandy Cheeks]

Cilantro here. No like.

It's well-known that cilantro tastes soapy to people that have a certain gene for this. Just like whether or not your pee smells funny to you after eating asparagus depends on your genes, too.

I've never heard anything about coffee in this regard, though.

[jamess]

Don't like the taste of coffee as a drink or as a flavor, but I love the smell.

Love cilantro.

[pickaguitar]

It took me a while to care about coffee...I think was about 28 or so. 34 now and drink it often

[beckerman]

Never had coffee, tea or hot chocalate. I don't like hot liquid, they don't smell very desireable and Pepsi is good enough.

[sguit]

Yeah, caffeine sucks. Cocaine, now THAT'S an effective stimulant :D

[DGTCrazy]

I've NEVER been able to get into Coffee. I think because my dad gave me some when I was a little kid....without any cream or sugar....and it was Folger's Instant....YUCK!


But.... Caffeine (Coke Zero) is my friend!

[coreybox]

I can tolerate black coffee. I don't much enjoy it unless it's really primo stuff. Most coffee has a very acidic after taste I do not like. A bit of salt usually can overcome this (but I for some reason feel terrible doing this).

I love coffee flavored things: lattes, cappuccino (maybe I just like espresso?), coffee cake, hot chocolate made with coffee, etc.

Hot tea (usually with a bit of honey) is superior to coffee IMO.

[Brian D]

Can't stand the smell, can't stand the taste.

I won't even have a coffee-flavored cake.

45 and coffee-free.With the exception of the part about the smell, I could have written this. But lately I've been thinking about trying to acquire a taste for it.

Like the smell, hate the rest.

[Sandy Cheeks]

On the other hand you have the people who profess that they love coffee, but then drink it with so much milk, sugar, etc... that coffee would be way down on the ingredient list. The true test of good coffee is an espresso. A good espresso is a moment in heaven.

ok ya got me...I don't like to drink it black. Gotta have sugar and/or creamer

[TC@Tyler]

Hate the flavor, love the smell....not bad if it's ice cream though.

Used to have a Secretary that had Coffee and Gig breath every morning though......THAT's a lovely odor.

[Florbastang]

You gotta have good coffee--espresso when possible. Otherwise, a nice french press with just ground, recently roasted beans makes some good coffee. I can't stand anything made by an electric drip brewer no matter the beans, especially if it was brewed more than a few minutes prior. I'd drink nothing over it. People also tend to have very poor grind to water ratios yeilding uber-watery coffee.

Mmmm, enjoying my French Pressed first cup of the day as I type.

[Teleplayer]

Coffee......mmmmmmm.....just had a cup in 2004.

Dig the smell; leaves one of the most grotesque after-tastes known to mankind. Absolutely horrific for the stomach and body. Oils, acids, caffeine out the wazoo. Yuck.

But is does serve its purpose as a good vehicle for Baileys or a good smokey whiskey, for the occasional after dinner dessert drink. Otherwise, no thanks.

And, at least IMHO, there is nothing more rancid than being in a Starbucks for more than 30 seconds......then leaving and smelling like you just took a 5-mile swim in a vat of burnt coffee. Oh wait, there is one thing that approaches that level of rancid.....

the breath of somebody that just took a good swig of java.

Otherwise, I love the stuff. Yummy!

:barf

Exactly.

If you don't drink coffee, you'll fail at life. It's that simple. You can't argue with the facts.

Making some Turkish coffee as I write this... like a winner.:aok

[silvertone1481]

Coffe is simply awesome....without it, you have no soul....

[R13D]

No coffee for me.....kills my stomach....caffeine wires me way too much...in any form.

[sfarnell]

Can't imagine starting my day without my one cup of coffee for the day. Organic Kona shipped overnight the day it is roasted. Mmmmmmmmmm.

The smell of coffee brewing reminds me of Saturday mornings when I was a kid and my dad made breakfast for the family. Good memories.

[campfirehero]

Love the thread! I like some coffee and my wife can't stand it, which pretty much means I haven't had a coffee pot in the house for 16 years. Seriously, she won't go down the cereal aisle because of the coffee....me or the kids have to go pick out cereal...

[Marcfordsfuzz513]

I love coffee and cigars. Those are my two guilty pleasures. I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time.

[bsuite]

Can't stand the smell, can't stand the taste.

I won't even have a coffee-flavored cake.

45 and coffee-free.

LOVE coffee,, can't drink it. messes with my stomach. :bitch

[Pfeister]

Don't drink coffee=suck at music. It's all right here:

You can make fun of digital modeling, but DON'T BE DISSIN' COFFEE.

Coffee is to us Seattle-ites like Pizza is to New York (and John Stewart)... :)

Better yet, ditch the low-grade stimulants altogether and replace them with a healthy diet and exercise. :aok

[antojado]

I used to not like cilantro, but I got tired of trying to avoid it in Mexican food. So I decided to like it. Now I like it.

Brussels sprouts to are probably the most disgusting vegetable. The smell like poop to me.

Coffee I love. Tea is too weak.

Join the Coffee Achievers!

[Scott Auld]

I will not be able to join this club; no, no I won't.

[MSS]

This is my kind of club! Have never been a coffee person, in fact, make my living with my own tea-shop! Tea and guitars, nothing more needed!!

[tonejunky]

I can see why a non-addict would hate consuming old or mediocre coffee. However, freshly brewed quality coffee from freshly ground beans is extraordinarily enjoyable. +1 for espresso. +1 for french-presses. I enjoy really good coffee black.

[Bryan T]

I love coffee, but hate the addiction aspect of it.

[KLB]

I LOVE coffee, but it HATES ME!!

[plagtr2]

Not a hot drink person in general. If it is REALLY cold outside, then a little hot choclate. Otherwise, meh. DO like the smell & will consume it in food. GREAT with chocolate!

[djdrdave]

I love coffee but am deciding to quit for good due to the horrible heartburn it gives me
Unfortunately i have tried to quit for good several times bit go back to it. This time its for real i hope.

[Braciola]

Tea has about half the caffeine of coffee

[steve108819]

I have tried coffee multiple times over the years with the same result. Can't stand it. I hate the smell and the taste. I'm jealous of coffee drinkers though. I feel like I'm excluded from a club or something. They seem to enjoy it so much. I want to get it, but I just can't.

[mcdes]

Another hater here, won't touch nothing with it in it, cakes, ice creams, drinks etc....... Including my wife sometimes...... Haha

[BlaXander]

I got into drinking coffee a couple of years ago and now I'm pretty much a coffee addict. With the exams these days, my coffee usage is spiking again to abnormally high and quite possibly unhealthy levels :p.

[WurstBurst]

Don't like coffee black. Don't like it with milk or cream. Don't like the flavoring in cakes or pies. Don't like the smell. Don't like it in chocolates.

Don't like coffee.

:barf

[candletears7]

Coffee rules.
If I don't get a fresh expresso from my machine within 20 minutes of waking up I'm a mess. Then another a couple hours later around 9am. Then one more with lunch.

The first hit of good coffee in the morning is f_cken sublime. Oh man...

Thanks for the link. I also found links and articles about coffee being the number one cause of cancer of the esophagus, impedes natural brain opiates, etc., etc., etc.

However, there were a few articles stating that coffee may positively affect people relative to some diseases. But in the 1/2 dozen or so articles I just read (got bored after that), none of them stated that coffee does have a positive effect. The research about its positive effects seems to be inconclusive.

But hey - when Big Food Inc. is involved, I am sure there will be plenty of dough put into research in order to find that coffee is a magic bullet for something.

Sort of like the "doctors" that have found HFCS to be O.K. too - you know, the ones hired by the National Corn Growers Association et al.

[MSS]

Tea has about half the caffeine of coffee

That is almost true........it actually has approximately 1/3 amount of caffeine compared to coffee, but it does stay in your system longer. Matcha, Japanese powdered green tea, is known to have about the same amount of caffeine content of standard coffee. Tea bags, often filled with sub-standard stale tea dust, do steep stronger but generally do not have anymore caffeine. If you're a tea person, it is well worth it to find good loose tea that is fresh.

[danb]

Drinking a nice hot cup of coffee right now! When I was younger, I'd have to drink it with cream and lots of sugar. Now I can't drink it unless it's straight.

Went to a Starbucks one time and told them I wanted a large plain black coffee. The girl at the counter had a confused WTF look on her face.

I finally was able to get a "venti" plain black coffee and to me it tasted awful. I guess people who love Starbucks get their's loaded with all that other stuff to mask the actual flavor of the coffee they use :dunno

I'll just take the simple old cup of Maxwell House.

[Cap'n Fingers]

Smells like cream spirit.

[CharAznable]

Coffee makes life possible.

If you are not drinking coffee, then you aren't really alive.

I agree. I can't drink coffee. Hate the taste, and therefore, I am coffee-effect impaired.

Tea is the only treatment-- a poor substitute... but alas... still doomed to failure.

[Glowing Tubes]

What an unusual thread, I didn't know so many people did not like coffee. I've got it down to one amazing cup each morning, tastes like heaven and the aroma is amazing. Oh well, to each their own..

[59burst]

I don't hate coffee, but I don't drink it either. I had a taste once, and thought it was awful. That was back in college, and now I'm 45.

I am OK with with coffee flavored ice cream.

For whatever reason, I am able to start my day arbitrarily early without a jolt of a stimulant.

I have nothing against coffee lovers. Its great that people can find pleasures in life.

[Hecube]

Coffe is simply awesome....without it, you have no soul....

Without getting into a religious debate, let's just say that I'm ok with what you wrote...

[JosephSky]

I used to never drink coffee at all. However this all changed when I worked at a Starbucks during High School. It was a bit weird being interviewed and having to state that I didn't drink coffee. But after a bit of time I ended up drinking everything from straight espresso, to lattes,cappucinos, and of course plain black coffee (I like it with cream too). I have been living in England now for about a year and a half and I must say that the standard of coffee in Europe blows America out of the water.Thou there are some great coffeeshops to be found in America (Mostly in larger cities like NYC etc)

[sixty2strat]

Hate Coffee, I was maybe 6 and on a 95degree day I can in looking for a galss of grape koolaide. I colud not reach it but saw a cup my mom had been drinking the koolaide when she made it.....took a swig and it was cold old coffe. Never had any since, did have anexpresson at a buddies resturant.

Saddly I an a Tea junkie(like the ruttels)I enjoy a good local coffee shop but their tea is bad most of the time, then they opened the Random Tea Room in philly ....great tea and a great staff...spend a winter day reading drinking tea and listening to good tunes.

[crunchman]

At least 2 cups/day, light and sweet, prefer half and half.

Love the smell of fresh ground, 8'oclock Bean is fine.

[Fred Farkus]

Folgers or Maxwell House black, out of my $15 Mr. Coffee. None of that fufu sh*t for me.
