Do you like to drink coffee? I don't. I don't even like the smell of coffee brewing. When I tell people this, they act like I'm the epitomy of anti-social behavior! I just don't like the way it tastes, smells, or how it makes me feel. What about you? Do you like or hate coffee? Do you like the smell of coffee? Help me out here--am I the only "anti-social" person in the world?

Nope, you're not. I don't like to drink coffee either, although I love the smell. I know what you mean about the "anti-social" thing, when I tell people I don't drink coffee some do look at me like that hehehehe The truth is that I used to like coffee. Expresso ! I did. I used to drink quite a lot and one day I woke up and didn't like the taste anymore. I don't even like anything flavoured with coffee - cakes, ice cream, desserts - But I still like the smell:)

That is ok ASL19741978, some people don't like it, though you are the first to say you don't like the smell. When I was little, we would go to many functions where there was coffee and I liked the smell, but not the taste. Then after I got married, my husband got me to try it with plenty of sugar and milk. Then of course the flavored creamers came out, I really started drinking it. A couple of years ago, we were at this hotel where our friends band was playing and my husband got a cup of black coffee, I didn't want a whole cup, so I tasted his and ever since, I have been drinking my coffee black.. So, to answer your question, at first I hated it, then I liked it with cream and sugar and now I like it black..:)

Sorry to disappoint sweetie but I love the aroma of freshly brewing coffee and the taste is heaven!!!! We all have our own likes and dislikes and I don't think any of us would think of you as anti social or weird cos you don't like coffee, I myself cannot stand the smell or taste of tea! xxxx

One time when I was about 18 I drank some coffee at work and ending up vomiting in the bathroom and having the shakes. For a few years because of that negative reinforcement I wouldn't touch coffee. But since I like caffeine and energy drinks, I began to realize coffee is a bit healthier and cheaper then energy drinks all the time. Now I like coffee but it still bothers my stomach at times.
