Did you ever try filter coffee from a speciality shop? Some coffee variants almost taste tea like. A whole different experience from your common bitter liquid
Oh yeah. I sometimes ask my partner to take a sip of her coffee. She asks me why I punish myself. She takes it plain black, and we get it from a ton of different places.
I’ve tried larger amounts to see if my palate adjusts, but it never really has. Granted, I could try harder, but there comes a point at which it’s just not worth the effort. Tea is fine. Even shitty generic black teabags are okay as long as you don’t steep them longer than 20-30 seconds, and maybe bulk them up with a bit of sugar and salt to cut the bitterness. Too easy to overextract them and they’re usually extracted with fresh-boiling water, which is a little too hot.
I love how coffee smells, and heavily diluted in an icecap or something, it’s fine.
Straight up, though? Disgusting. I’ve tried for years to develop the taste for it. No dice.
A well prepared tea just goes down easier.
Even a caffeine free green tea is a step above hot water. And I’ll drink straight hot water on a cold day in a pinch.

Speciality coffee can be a different beast, I have tried some which have a sweetness to it
I will hold out hope!
yea how the fuck it smells so good but tastes like meh. Wait cinnamon…
And as with cinnamon, all you need is quadruple the amount of sugar as you use coffee in order for it to start tasting ok.
