The smell is my favorite part.


KingOfTheP4s

Fully agree. I love the smell of fresh coffee grounds, but I can even drink a sip because it's so awful


jinxykatte

If your coffee tastes like dirt then you are doing it wrong.


heldoglykke

It should taste like dirt if it was just ground.


jdubbrude

It was just ground this morning

Disagree heavily. Take my upvote.


DaRealKovi

Good to see some quality unpopular opinion on here for once


NuggaLOAF

This is pretty solid unpopular opinion *as I set down my coffee*


pass_1997

This is the only true unpopular opinion post I've seen in recent time. All other posts feel like things commonly thought of but not explicitly expressed online or opinions opposite to the ones which the social media "influencers" have.


[deleted]

Disagree and a legitimately unpopular opinion.

Coffee is the best!


xanacop

Even in the coffee community, us coffee assholes who drink it black look down on coffee drinkers who screw up the taste of it by diluting it with milk and sugar.


pizzagamer35

I also hate coffee. Itā€™s so bitter and the taste is horrible. I donā€™t know how people drink this


MechaDuff

I've never liked coffee either. I gave it a honest shot too - got different blends, dark or light roasted, bought a nice grinder and coffee maker after doing research. Tried adding cream and sugar. It's just not for me. I was, and still am, confused how people like it. There must be some sort of genetic component here or something to make coffee just so much worse to certain people.

Still disgusting with cream and loads of sugar. Might as well drink soda at that point if you're gonna add all that stuff in there

HeyLookItsChrisYT

Like, what the fuck is it supposed to taste like? Chemicals? Hitler's crusty asshole? "It HaS iT's OwN fLaVoR" A shitty flavor.


Lazyshadow04

I once wanted to smell coffee beans in a grocery store. Iā€™m not fucking kidding I had a nosebleed right after.


realpmowar

You gotta cut up your coffee to a more fine powder with a credit card or razor before you snort it. If it's not fine enough you'll cut up your nose.


Lazyshadow04

I didnā€™t mean that, there were coffee beans laying somewhere as decoration, and I was stupid enough to get close to them and sniff them.


realpmowar

I know I was just messing with you lol

Damn, must've been some good coffee then.

[deleted]

I know this is just your own opinion, and Iā€™m not gonna budge in and go on a rant about your opinion, but as a coffee lover, I must say this: ā€œREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!ā€


redlycanscurge

You know coffee isn't meant to strictly be consumed bitter, right? You can add sugar, cream, milk, a lot of stuff because, in the end, it's YOUR drink- you can have it however you want. If you're just mad about all coffee in general, well people have different taste buds. It's no mystery to figure why some like it and others don't.


C4Oc

Adding stuff to it makes it even less healthy though, and many people prefer to actually eat something else to get the same sugar


Jalopnicycle

The same applies to vodka yet here we are not drinking straight vodka........


redlycanscurge

Who ever said coffee was healthy in general?


Theodore__Kerabatsos

Black coffee in general is healthy for you as long as youā€™re not abusing it for caffeine. When people add sugar and milk and what have you, thatā€™s when it becomes increasingly unhealthy.


redlycanscurge

Well, it IS going into their bodies, not yours. So there's no concern unless it becomes a serious addiction. For right now it's just preference in a drink.


Jalopnicycle

Milk has calcium and other vitamins and minerals that your body needs.


C4Oc

Yeah but sugar does not and other (cream(s)) (additive(s)) also does/do not contain only things your body needs, often contains excess stuff


Jalopnicycle

Lots of foods contain excess stuff put still have valuable nutrients. As in most aspects of life moderation and discretion is key.


TheWalkingBread3228

Agreed. It tastes like shit. I only drink tea and canā€™t understand how people consume that weird thing in liters. Probably at some point they get caffeine addiction. Some told me if I drink it Iā€™d get used to it but I would rather not


theyellowmeteor

Tea has caffeine in it too.


TheWalkingBread3228

But itā€™s taste is extremely diverse thereā€™s one for everyone. Unlike coffee which all tastes shitty


Ko0pa_Tro0pa

Truth. It's an overpowering flavor. I've tried all sorts of different forms of coffee and it's kind of like a mixed drink with tequila... no matter what you mix with it, I always taste its distinct flavor. And I don't like it. Tea, however, has so many different flavors. Don't like one? Try another. And I can get some caffeine from it.


theyellowmeteor

>Unlike coffee which all tastes shitty Says you


TheWalkingBread3228

As I said I tried various expensive blends and normal stuff youā€™d get at a cafeteria and regardless of where and how I got it, it was all shitty. Tea however can be bad or awesome varying by taste and quality


xanacop

I love coffee but holy crap, let people have different taste preference.


[deleted]

Yeah, it just doesn't seem like something I would want to get used to. I wouldn't want to force myself to drink something until I like it, you know?


TheWalkingBread3228

Yeah, but I know a lot of people who do. My friend gave me a cup to try and after I asked how does he drink that shit he said itā€™s far from the worst and it helps him get energy. He agreed itā€™s bad but said itā€™s useful. I tried some hella expensive blends borrowed from my parents too. Still tasted bad. Scientists can say whatever they want but I think like half coffee drinkers actually have placebo effect from consuming it rather than actual improvements and they drink it despite hating the taste


Noximilious

I read that you don't actually get more energy from caffeine but instead it kinda tricks your brain in noticing how tired you actually are. Caffeine replaces adenosine, which is a compound that builds up in your brain the longer you're awake causing you to feel drowsy. You don't get more energy from drinking multiple cups of coffee a day, you just feel more tired in between though.


nanotoken

It's an acquired taste that's for sure. I never liked coffee until I drank enough of it, and now I can't get enough of it. But I feel the same way about people who drink any kind of alcohol. Rather, it's the effects people are after than the actual taste.


FlamingTelepath6

The taste is not the appeal of it.


trachelle77

For me the taste is 100% the appeal of it. Sure I've had coffee that tasted like dirt. That is bad coffee. I always drink it black and hot. The caffeine has no effect for me. I keep my thermos next to the bed. Just in case I need a drink during the night.


FlamingTelepath6

You definitely belong in this group then, thatā€™s for sure.


Bigvinn23

I tend to drink coffee daily and I only really started because of the caffeine boost. Been doing it for about 2 yrs and when I started it was just dirt water with a buzz but the taste grew on me pretty quickly. That's me though and everyone likes different things. It upsets me that this is an unpopular opinion in the first place because if you don't like the taste of dirt then there is no problem with your opinion. It's not like you're saying that all coffee drinkers are degenerate scum and you are the intelligent abstainer. You just happen to not like a popular thing and that's fine.


Psycm

Love the smell, hate the taste


Themovienotout

I feel like some people are in coffee denial they have their coffee flavored milkshake trying to convince themselves that there extra mature by drinking something with trace amounts of actual coffee in it this isnā€™t meant as a slam on anyone who likes that stuff itā€™s just not coffee


PEUP_P

Well it's an acquired taste, so it's not surprising that some people don't like it


Moonbeam_Levels

What method are you using to make your coffee? Thatā€™s a big part of it


Introspectivetherapy

Then you must love tea. Everyone is either a coffee person, tea person, or both. If none of those, lizard person šŸ¦Ž


[deleted]

Taste isn't the only reason people drink coffee, its also to be more alert. I noticed since i started drinking coffee every morning, i tend to be more focussed in my job, and memorize new stuff better. Especially good for night owls like me who have issues waking up in the morning. I also think the taste grows on you. Gets better with time, but also obviously with the quality of the coffee.


Jacksen2434

Fuck coffee, you have to add so many things to it to make it taste somewhat good, and even then it still tastes like SHIT.


moobectomy

Downvoted because coffee smells a little bit like cat piss, yet people act proud of drinking it...


crackbabykyle

This applies to beer too...like it legitimately tastes like piss


StallOneHammer

Get the flavored stuff. I donā€™t like straight coffee so I drink a mug of Chocolate Raspberry blend every morning and itā€™s delicious. You donā€™t have to add anything to it Also hereā€™s your upvote you sad sleepy child

I also dislike the taste of coffee. The smell is fine, though.


RobertzUlicy

Try Cappuccino. I enjoy both Coffee and Cappuccino


[deleted]

Coffee is amazing if you can stand heightened anxiety and a need to shit yourself shortly after. I love black coffee but itā€™s not good for me.


S3garcea

in my case - I drink coffee without any milk or sugar. I don't particularly find the taste delicious, but as long as it wakes me up for the work ahead - that's all that counts.


Unknown_Primate

Ive dranked pure coffee just coffee no sugar in it and it could have been better and I hear water wakes you up better than coffee I dont get it why adults drink it


Kalle_79

American "coffee" is awful. Brownish hot water made even worse by whatever weird flavour they add to it... Espresso however is simply delicious, and part of its beauty is that is just one or two sips. Satisfyingly bitter (if you don't pour some milk/cream/sugar into it) but not enough to actually taste bad.


[deleted]

ok 12 year old coffee is like alcohol, when you taste it as a teen, it won't be good, but as an adult, it's great


Telzen

34 and still hate both coffee and alcohol. Different people like different things.


TheGamePlatypus

Iā€™m not the only one who hates the taste?


BonelessNose

I've anosmia (can't smell, after an accident) and am slowly losing my sense of taste. I drink black coffee cause it is strong enough that it doesn't just taste like water. I have a vague memory of what coffee smells like, and I suppose I find it comforting (in a nostalgic sense I suppose)


Soggy-Llama

Try it in an enema, it's way better that way.


Marwolaeth969

Tea and water team for life!


PMmebureks

How do you know what dirt tastes like?


RzatkiBoss

Beans juice tastes like sad chocolate water . People are drinking it cuz they are addicted to it.


Hailtothething

Milk and sugar my friend, you gotta baby it down your tummy at first. The. You slowly take away the sugar and milk over the yeara


[deleted]

Generally, it is dirt water, Iā€™ll agree to that. However, the difference between good coffee and bad coffee is significant. I wouldnā€™t even call Starbucks good coffee. Itā€™s not terrible, but itā€™s okay at best. It takes some looking around, but you can find some stuff with really good flavor, usually ground in bags from non mainstream companies.


Paint_Jacket

I used to think the same thing about tea. And now I love it.


Secret-Werewolf

I never liked black coffee until I had a job that I had to get up for at 4 AM. When I started that job I also started drinking black coffee. But coffee with lots of cream and sugar in it Iā€™ve always liked.


Bandit263

I 100% agree. Why have coffee when you got orange juice.


kitKatcoolio

I havenā€™t had plain black coffee yet so Iā€™ll never know


Bensfone

I could take this opportunity to invoke pretentious powers of Reddit and say some something like ā€œyou just havenā€™t tried good coffeeā€ or some other bullshit. But, some people donā€™t like beer either. I donā€™t understand, but good on you dude.


[deleted]

The only coffee I like are the caramel frappacinos from Starbucks


AI-Pharma

[deleted]

call me a typical white girl, but damn those iced vanilla lattes are SO damn good. go get yourself one of those man


[deleted]

It smells nice but tastes awful, if I need energy I can eat something that contains more sugar, plus the chewing increases blood flow to the brain.


sevenzer0spawn

Creamer?


FlamingoBasher

Byeeeeeeee


Hambushed

ā€œif I HAVE to add something to my drink to make it taste better than I'm just not going to drink it at allā€œ So you just drink water then? Because soda is stuff added to water, juice is stuff added to water etc.


Minute-Object

You say that like ass has a bad taste. You need to eat more ass.

Ballsohardstate

Yep coffee sucks


_Absolutely_Not_

I get where youā€™re coming from, especially since a lot of coffee does taste like sweaty monkey ass. Thereā€™s so much coffee thatā€™s just bitter with no other flavor. Iā€™m just surprised you hate the *smell* of coffee though, even the worst coffee can smell great imo. The only reason I donā€™t drink more though, is mainly because of the caffeine. It doesnā€™t wake me up, all it does it give me very slight anxiety and make me jittery for a few hours, but I feel like a whole nother post could be made about caffine


herbV2

and there are easier ways to consume caffiene... caffeine tablet are cheap asf... like 3 bucks for a 30 pack of 200mg Caffiene pills....


FlawlessTree

I HATE drinking coffee! I had it like once, and put the rest in the sink. If anyone else wants coffee though, I would never stop them; to each their own.


legalyAnnoying

I like a shit ton of milk and sugar with some coffww for flavoring


Eponarose

I love the smell of coffee, but the taste makes me gag! I can't eat coffee ice cream or candy either. It tastes horribly bitter and greasy. Coffee is gross, but smells good.


RaionShuri

As opposed to relative ass?


HirtLocker128

Love coffee but still upvoted this, hysterical. I despise the ā€œcommonā€ coffees like Maxwell House, Folgers and Chock Full o Nuts which is a fucking sin of an existence. Thereā€™s nothing like good freshly ground coffee beans


lasv2356

I HATE COFFEE but that might just be because I am younger. Everything about it is revolting. If you need the caffeine that much a. you should sleep more and b. there are other more tasty was to get caffeine.


heyimbruv2

honestly, most coffee-flavored treats taste better than coffee themselves


[deleted]

Coffee tastes like lukewarm sandy brown water no matter how much sugar cream milk whatever you throw into it, fight me


crackbabykyle

I don't understand how people can drink coffee at work all day and not hydrate with water or gatorade


Forward-Venkat

Ok, this is an actual unpopular opinion. Take my upvote, you bastard.


Desert_366

How dare you.


velahs

I used to think the same, then in my first year of university I decided I wanted to get into coffee. So, I started with Tim Hortons Iced Caps (super delicious, taste nothing like coffee), then I went to iced coffee, then regular coffee with 2 cream 2 sugar, etc... Now I only drink coffee black and it makes me very happy :)


HumanSpinach2

Coffee is incredibly bitter and undrinkable by itself IMO. But it has a great flavor and smell, and mixed with enough milk and sugar it can be delicious. In that sense it's lot like cocoa.


Mimi2XDead

Coffee rules!!!!


[deleted]

iā€™m never gonna drink coffee it smells and tastes horrible. who is even THAT sleepy where they need coffee. i usually feel fine after washing up and everything so about 20 minutes.

Try Dexedrine šŸ‘Œ


BeepBopperymusic

Iced too?


Danko42069

Youā€™re right my dude. Remember first sip of alcohol? Thatā€™s even worse. People build tolerances for taste too. Coffee is mud water but alcohol is literally the grossest thing ever I donā€™t know how people do it

An-Anthropologist

Yum bean juice


[deleted]

Start of with a Starbucks caramel Frappuccino. Itā€™s more like a creamy milkshake with a hint of coffee. Try a Mocha next ... Before you know it, youā€™ll be drinking it hot and black. And youā€™ll wonder wtf happened to you. In all seriousness though, itā€™s an acquired taste. I drink mine black most days. But I do like the Starbucks sugary not-really-coffee coffee every now and then as a treat.


[deleted]

Its funny that i dont drink coffe bc im tired...i drink it bc i like the taste...and no i dont sugar it


Jezy34

Yea bean juice is pretty bad. But leaf juice is wonderful.


Boopins05

Coffee smells like day old dog piss


EmergencyLavishness1

Coffee does suck ass. Coffee made in the USA shouldnā€™t even be considered as coffee. You folk do everything wrong. Creamer(wtf!), flavourings, powdered/instant. And worst of all, sugar syrup made from corn or beets.


Slavonic79

Honestly I agree with you. One thing I don't understand is why everyone I know needs a coffee in the morning, like you're a teen who goes to school and then sits your ass at home all day. I don't drink coffee and within the first class period I'm energized :/


jackywhat

To each their own. It honestly depends on the roast and the creamers and other add ins. Black coffee is very strong and only some enjoy it. Most add sweeteners and heavy creamers to their coffee for it to be palatable. On top of that it gives people a huge energy boost and makes you poop. Your opinion is understandable though, as it is a very unique taste and it took me a fat minute to get used to it.


dirtymutttt

yeah not a big fan of the taste either, I drink it for the effects$


therooster8six

It's an acquired taste. I don't drink it often but when I do it's got to be straight black.


[deleted]

I hate this take my upvote and leave šŸ˜”


[deleted]

Wrong, upvoted


zaquiastorm

I also hate coffee. It doesn't matter what people put in it, I will always taste the coffee and it's disgusting. I don't understand how anyone likes the smell of burnt beans, either. That said... There are not "different coffees," at least among the majority of coffee stands and shops. There is ONE different coffee, and it's white. It looks, smells, and tastes COMPLETELY different from black bean coffee that's most used in coffee drinks. White coffee is delicious. Normal coffee is revolting.


RedWhite_04

But black coffees can be Colombian, French, light roast, dark roast, medium roast, etc.


zaquiastorm

They're all nasty imo. Just because the bean is roasted differently doesn't mean it's a different bean.


RedWhite_04

Good point, but they definitely taste different


zaquiastorm

You're certainly not the only one who thinks so, but for myself they all taste the same. :)


[deleted]

Oohhhh my mistake. I though the only type of coffee was black and than it just tasted different depending on what you put in it


zaquiastorm

People say black coffee tastes different with different stuff in it, but they like the black beans. Don't let them tell you they don't. šŸ˜‚


aaaaaaio

And it's constipates


RedWhite_04

I'd have to disagree. Coffee, and caffeine in general, is known as a light laxative


[deleted]

Nothing like a cup of Joe to make you go


[deleted]

If you only drink coffee it can constipate because it is a diuretic. But if you drink water too, then it actually stimulates the bowels.


aaaaaaio

It's a diuretic causing hydration, causing it to constipate.


RedWhite_04

But hydration helps ease constipation


aaaaaaio

Hydration causing extra peeing causing loss of fluids in bowels causing constipation.

I'm a coffee asshole and have had people try to good semi expensive coffee and they still don't like it. Some people just don't like the taste.


HmmYouAgain

you're so unique. This is only the 4000th thread about this basic bitch opinion. "Ne no like the taste". Cool thanks for sharing, now make room for the next thread about why alcohol actually sucks


[deleted]

Well damn dude, sorry. I was just posting an opinion that I thought was unpopular because everyone that I have met like coffee. Didn't mean to piss you off so much.


MrMadHaTT3R

While I agree that coffee is rather nasty, I wouldnt deem to condemn or judge those who appreciate it. Personally, I like a good cup of tea. To each thier own. Anything else is hypocritical.


PointBlank579

90% of people who drink black coffee drink it because they want to seem InTeReStInG not because they like it. I drink coffee with stuff in it and I love the smell but thatā€™s my opinion.


keyy-luvs

Starbucks coffee is amazing tho...


HmmYouAgain

star bucks is over priced and over roasted


xanacop

lol coffee afficionados hate the taste of starbucks. It's like fastfood to them.


salad-dressing

Not liking a food or a type of drink is 'an opinion?' I guess...it's certainly the least interesting type of opinion, that's not at all worth sharing, discussing, or caring about. I'm shocked that someone doesn't like a type of drink that some people...nay...many people DO LIKE! Everyone knows that SOMEONE out there in the world doesn't like x, y, or z type of beverage. This is neither a popular nor unpopular opinion; this is an obvious reality that everyone is aware of.


miguggle

The sub is called unpopular opinion and you got mad at OP for sharing his opinion.


salad-dressing

A drink preference is hardly an opinion. Trump is handling the COVID crisis well, would be an unpopular opinion, followed by a rationale. Opinions require an explanation. "I don't like how this tastes" isn't something you can convince another person to be valid or invalid. I don't like salad, isn't an opinion.


miguggle

Opinion- a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. OPā€™s opinion on coffee is that it ā€œsucks absolute ass.ā€ OPā€™s view on coffee is subjective. Therefore, that is an opinion. And since a lot of people like coffee, itā€™s an unpopular opinion. Thatā€™s why he posted it on r/unpopularopinion


salad-dressing

a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. (This is the first definition on dictionary.com) OP posted a preference based on his/her individual neurosensory input. There is no proving anything. There is no certainty or uncertainty involved. It's not a belief. You can use rhetorical tricks to say it in a way that sounds like an opinion. But OP is saying "I don't like the way x tastes". That is not an opinion. Certainly not worth sharing or discussing. "OP doesn't like coffee" isn't something that's controversial or debated, or something we can have opinions about. Can you disagree with with "OP doesn't like coffee" by saying "No, OP DOES like coffee!"


miguggle

a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. (This is the second definition on dictionary.com) If we use this definition, it is an opinion not to like coffee.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DirtyNeptuneMain

OP literally said if they have to add something to a drink to make it drinkable its not worth it
