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

Costa isn't great. I find their coffees actually a bit wimpy! I started with a mocha then moved on to lattes. I'm now and Americano with oat milk girl, no sugar. Only started drinking it in my mid forties.

I find Costa varies a lot. The one at my local TescoExtra is great, but some motorwayservice station ones are vile.

I don’t understand trying to force yourself to like coffee! Just seems a lot of hassle and wasted money.

I liked small but really dislike the taste. Even a teaspoon that has stirred coffee tastes too strong and ruins a good tea (husband has now been trained on this).

If you really want a hot drink has you considered just hot water? Surprisingly nice.

Why try and force yourself into liking something which isn't good for you? Try fruit tea (check it doesn't have any actual tea), hot water and a good quality hot chocolate. There's absolutely no point in trying to train yourself to like food and drink that's unhealthy.

Coffee in moderation may have some health benefits. But obviouslyifypu don’t lik3 the taste there is no point in forcing it.

The only coffee I'll drink is Origin's, made by their own baristas. Oat milk flat white please.

Not all coffee is the same. You want good quality, and someone who knows its how to make it.

It's a treat for me as a result.
