    I say this as a coffee drinker: try tea. There’s way more flavor options to help you ease into it. Start with some fruity flavors and work your way toward the more bitter stuff (if you ever want to get there)

      Seconding the idea of tea. My schedule doesn’t allow the amount of bathroom breaks I would need if I consumed enough tea to get the caffeine I need, but I would prefer tea over anything else given the chance.

      Drinking tea actually expanded my palate enough to learn how to enjoy black coffee. It wasn’t until I started brewing my own including cleaning the machine myself that it started coming out good enough to really look forward to.

        I’ve tried and failed to enjoy black coffee so many times until I realized it’s the mouth feel. I don’t prefer it with sugar but I need milk or creamer for it to be palatable!

        Somewhat ironically I can’t stand milk in tea.
