To gone completely off the coffee?!

Ok so I’ve been drinking coffee for years, since I was a teenager or so, like so many of us. 1 cup of coffee in the morning, maybe one more in the afternoon. Maybe a coffee shop once a week, you know the drill. Not hugely addicted but I just needed at least the morning cup.
So fast forward few months ago like always I woke up, went to to kitchen to make breakfast and was suddenly disgusted by the coffee. The idea of drinking it made me almost throw up. I still love the smell so I think it’s the taste that’s changed? I don’t know. Like of you put a cup of coffee in front of me and told me to drink it would seriously make me nauseous and all sick in my stomach.
And the funny thing is that nothing changed that time - I wasn’t sick, don’t have any health problems, NOT PREGNANT.l, like anything that would affect it. I thought maybe it would last a day or so but it’s few months now and still the same! Like why? I love and loved coffee. I want to drink it, enjoy it but my body or brain seems completely repulsed by it.
Anyone else been in the same situation?
Why would it even happen? What’s the reason? My body had enough?

you had covid but no symptoms aside from change in taste

How old are you OP? Could it be perimenopause causing this symptom? My sense of smell has heightened in the last couple of years, and I am showing many other signs of being perimenopausal.

My money is on having had covid with no symptoms too. My tastes really changed after one of my bouts, and it took ages for them to settle down again.

I didn’t even drink the coffee that morning so can’t comment how it would’ve tasted like. It it was an overnight switch - previous day it was fine and the next morning I couldn’t even look at it, let alone make it and drink it. So not so sure about that.

I’m 37. And don’t have any other peri symptoms. Or didn’t have any other illnesses/ coughs/colds. That’s why I’m a bit confused.

Everything is blamed on covid these days

Sometimes our bodies and brain do this sort of thing. It has happened to me at times over the years.

The only time I went off coffee was when I was pregnant. Is there a possibility that you are pregnant?

You may well be perimenopausal. Yes, it’s young, but definitely not unheard of at your age.
