Help me like coffee

I really like the smell of coffee.

I am 24. I tried drinking it when I was a bit younger and hated it, too strong

I've got a more 'adult' taste 😂so was wondering how to like it as I bought a flat white with no sugar from Star Bucks - loved how frothy it tasted but the coffee was a bit too strong

What type of coffee might I like?! There are so many - Mocha, flat white, Americans, etc etc I'm confused by

Sincerely, a very tired carer who does need caffeine

I second a latte. With sugar and/or a shot of syrup if that doesn't work (vanilla, caramel etc). I used to have sugar with my latte, which is still my preferred coffee, and then weaned myself off it.

Just keep drinking it! Soon you will be addicted and love the taste. Maybe add a little sugar or sweetener to start with.

I don’t drink coffee only tea which I love.
I love the smell too though.
Just enjoy the smell and give it a swerve.

I'd say latte....that's what I started on and now can pretty much drink anything.

It's a bit like wine....we start in our teens with lambrini and then before we know it you're a Pinot Gricio, Chardonnay or sauvingon blanc kinda girl 🤣

latte?
They are quite milky

But if you don't like coffee, you don't like coffee, surely there are other drinks with caffeine in that are more palatable to you?
