Help me like coffee

[sellmeyours]

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'm not a huge coffee fan. I can only have it with lots of sugar and milk.

Latte is weak and milky. Try one of those. Flat whites are quite strong.

Try it black?

It's shite isn't it? 😅

i think you will like a latte with a one sugar and lots of extra milk ! Yum 😋

Thank you so much, can I ask how comes it's so strong when the consistency is really fluffy and nice?

You need milk and sugar. I love coffee but still find it strong and could never drink it black. Latte or a caramel macchiato maybe.

Try a caramel latte from McDonald’s - that’s probably a good gateway one.

Thank you - How about a Skinny Latte? Does that just mean latte with skimmed milk??

Agree with pp a latte will maybe be better for you.
I love coffee but hate Starbucks, so would also try other places.

oP I think a Latte is double the amount of milk and same amount of coffee as a Glat white

I love a flat white, having always been a black coffee drinker. Can't tolerate the bitterness any more
Definitely recommend brown sugar if you're going to use it

My spelling is atrocious!
Skinny means skimmed milk yes.

If I make a coffee with lots of oat milk, does that make it a skinny latte too?

I don't have any milk in the fridge but have some Americans coffee in, and oat milk. Was going to try that

I paid £3.50 at the drive through for a flat white... the size of it was as if it was a child's cup!

A friend of mine start dating a coffee addict recently.

She started with mochas, graduated to lattes and now drinks flat whites.

True romance

Starbucks coffee is a very acquired taste. Try Costa, it's less bitter. A latte with syrup would be a good entry point.

A flat white will usually have two shots of coffee. A latte will only have one shot.

You need a nice instant coffee like nescafe. Then you can muck about with how strong/how much milk/if you want sugar.

I'm a carer too and recognise the need for caffeine 😂
I find 'proper' coffee too strong and if I drink it out I usually go for soya latte.

Ask for a latte with half a shot. That will be very weak to get you used to coffee, then you can go up to one shot if you want to later.

I never used to like coffee but started drinking it when I was at uni. I do believe it's something you almost have to train your tastebuds to like.

I started on lattes (very milky) with sugar and could still taste the coffee a lot. Over the years I've lessened the sugar and got stronger coffees. I now enjoy a flat white with no sugar and actually like the taste.

I also have a coffee machine at home that I grind the beans for because I like the strong taste now.

Just start weak (milky) and sweet and then you can progress to stronger 😊

Maybe try a sweetener in it to start x

I think there's a big difference between espresso drinks, no matter how milky, and ordinary filter coffee. I'm not a fan of the petrolly-tasting Italian-style dark roast coffees and prefer medium roast filter.

A flat white should have quite silky steamed milk which is why it has such a creamy texture, but it’s a lot of coffee to a small amount of milk which is why it tasted strong to you (and why it was in a small cup - flat whites should be small!)

A latte also has steamed milk but much more milk to coffee. You might also like a shot of syrup (vanilla/caramel/whatever Christmas mix they have on offer).

I much prefer iced coffee! Cappucino and Mocha are lovely.

If you like hot chocolate then try mocha, then a latte. I love coffee but would rather drink nothing than a Starbucks coffee!
