So true

I used to be a sweet latte guy, but then had a similar experience with cold brews. Over time I got less and less sweet foam, so I got accustomed to the cold brew taste. They’re just so smooth and don’t feel as hateful as black espresso.

Heheh I like how you described it. Black espresso really does taste like HATE. Cold brews are sooo mellow. Works with teas that are susceptible to bitterness too! It's the hot water that awakens bitter compounds so brewing in cold water circumvents that!

I'm the same way, cold brew isn't as acidic so it oddly doesn't taste that bitter. It makes it much easier to drink on it's own.

@@happybunnyntx Yeah, I much prefer the taste of cold brews than black coffees, but ironically cold brews have cleansed my palette to the point where I enjoy a simple black coffee.

hateful is the right description for espresso hahaha

Coffee if brewed right doesn't have those bad taste qualities (burnt, sour, bitter, astringent, pungent). What makes it addicting is the taste notes that hit when you sip and that lingering after taste that goes on for minutes even hours.

been drinking black coffee since i was 10/11. my parents used to force me to drink it with milk but i hated it so i drank it before they got to the kitchen in the morning and haven’t stopped since then, i am now 23 😆 i drink it entirely free of cream, milk or sugar

One of the ways for me is to treat it like dark chocolate. Let it slowly enter your mouth (slurp for extra flavors if you're alone), let it sit there for at least three seconds and slowly swallow not all but in small amounts. That feels insanely extra but doing that and variants of that helps to really appreciate the flavor compared to if i just swallowed it instantly my mouth would die. Also could try light-roast if you don't like that bitterness to it

I got into black coffees through iced black Americanos because ommmg espressos flavour is fricking magnificent when there's a bit of ice and water to dilute, it has these notes that u can't enjoy when u drink it with sugar or dairy. That's not to say I don't enjoy it with those things as well but seriously trying black iced Americanos is what altered my brain chemistry and did it for me so I'm now able to enjoy coffee black

Started because I got interested in making coffee! From the kind of roast you do, where the beans come from, how fresh they are, how precisely you brew, freshly grinding the beans... the ritual of it became really soothing! Milk, creamer, and sugar easily mask poorly made coffee, so I started drinking it black to see how I was doing and what "notes" I could taste bean to bean. It has been a fun hobby! I still drink dark roast and condensed milk in Vietnamese Coffee, but these days I always drink light and medium roasts black.

I like brown sugar and heavy cream in my coffee 🤷‍♀️ I don't drink any sodas or juice so I don't mind indulging in a cup of sweet coffee a few times a week.

I started drinking watered down black coffee with my dad in the mornings before elementary school, and we would watch cartoons 🥰

I can't drink coffee at all, I don't really mind the taste but my stomach will punish me

Black coffee ☕️ is pretty amazing 👏 😍

I've loved plain black coffee since I was a child. Bitter is amongst my favorite tastes.

There is two kinds of bitterness, the first enjoyable and tolerable then there is the other kind which is inedible.

It’s either black coffee or espresso; anything else is just a sugary drink that you shouldn’t even call coffee.

I just hate coffe lol. Got enough bitterness in me already, no need for coffee

I used to drink black coffee more religiously until I got food poisoning one day (not from the coffee) and I was drinking black coffee that day. I was so traumatized by the experience that I couldn't stand the smell of black coffee cuz it always made me nauseous. So I started drinking it w/ cream and sugar again until I started drinking cold brew out of habit. Now I'm pretty much stuck on cold brew for a while until I can drink hot black coffee again.

I had the same experience with frozen chicken parm. The smell alone makes me nauseous. Still dont want any 1 year later.

My coffee journey also started with Starbucks Frappuccino’s! And I basically did the same thing that the teacher here did - it went down to macchiato’s with syrup in them, cappuccino’s - and now I’ve reached the point where I can’t wait to treat myself to an espresso halfway through my morning!

This is interesting. I started on black coffee 😮 so I didn’t try the sweetened stuff till later on, and found myself not liking it as much as black coffee. It’s funny how stuff like that works

completely agree with this as a coffee drinker myself

I love both black and beverage creations equally. My go to cafe order is a double shot espresso and then a small latte (usually a seasonal flavor). That way I taste the espresso in both settings

I learnt to drink Lebanese black coffee with no sugar because everytime I go to someone's house that's what I'm offered and I get compliments for drinking it without sugar since apparently all young people love sugar

I've always loved black coffee, that's how my grandmother always had hers and I would take sips from her cup all the time as a kid.

Milk and sugar are added to coffee to hide the bitterness of a low quality coffee or badly extracted coffee

That is one reason but not the whole reason another reason coffee tastes bitter is that it clearly has bitter chemical in it only some people are genetically evolved to taste that particular bitterness in the coffee a lot of us will never able to.

one thing i've been doing this past month, that works extremely well even on a cheap coarsely grounded instant coffee that i actually hated, was to splash a bit of cold water enough to cover the grounds and stir for awhile. once it looks like it's fully mixed in all together, i add the hot water. it actually smells more wonderful and far less bitter, with some hints of dark chocolate to the aroma, something i never smelled off this brand before. while i still take mine with sweetened condensed milk, it clearly tastes a whole lot less bitter this way. i'm actually tempted to try it black to give it a try.

I actually did this with my iced tea, I used to drink sweetened raspberry black tea but I gradually weened myself off it and now I love my unsweetened iced raspberry black tea

i started with the most difficult task : brew it cold with ice cubes. now the problem is, getting the right ratio is hard and when you find the perfect recipe, its so satisfying. i learned two methods of how to make it. first one is cold brew. good for robusta beans and you can serve it with little bit of sugar (10gram). another method i use to brew is japanese iced drip. good for arabica beans with acidity and sweetness. if you do it right you don't even need sugar at all and the taste is rich and balanced between sweet, sour, and bitter. i'm speaking as barista not customer perspective.

i have black coffee with jam toast and that helps cut the bitterness :) also i drank black tea before, so that kind of prepared me for the bitterness

Really good coffee makes all the difference. I have a local roaster that makes my favorite espresso. It’s got such good flavor it needs no additions.

I was known for stealing my uncle's watered-down iced coffee at the age of 5 and have loved coffee ever since. My current favorite coffee has to be Vietnamese coffee (preferably iced because I like cold drinks) because of the bitter taste. I want to try black coffee in the future though!

If you don't like the bitterness, look into lighter coffee roasts. I generally prefer them because they taste less burnt and more like the descriptors

Very easy with espresso based drinks: • Lattes + Syrup • Lattes • Cappuccinos / Flat Whites • Cortados • Macchiatos • Espresso or Americano

me personally, the first time i tried it black i just loved it. when i get coffee from shops i dont usually get it black, but when i make it its always black coffee

Black coffee makes me feel like I’m ready for the day, lattes make me wanna sleep.

i've been drinking plain espresso for a while. I think it's just an acquired taste unless you progress to it.

I've been drinking black coffee since I was like 15-16. My parents always loved coffee and my Dad has always drank it black so I tried it and just slowly got used to it.

It was similar for me, my dad drinks a cup of black coffee every morning, and accompanies it with cookies or toast with marmalade to balance it out. I spent a month of vacation with him when I was like 16 and just got used to drinking it with him, I never really liked coffee with sugar before that though, so I guess I was always gonna like it.

Black coffee is pure. You can taste every nuance in the bean. To me it changes by the day. I am constantly surprised by what my palate can discern with different beans or temperature as the coffee cools. A latte is good once in a while but black coffee is what I want for a coffee experience...

I've been drinking strong black coffee since I was 5yrs old. now I've moved onto several shots of espresso as my go to.

I went straight to cold brew black. It was hot coffee in general I couldn't stand without a bunch of stuff added to make it palatable to me. I didn't want to have another sugary thing in my diet, especially drinkable calories and tried cold brew black on a whim. No more hot coffee when I have coffee.

I used to not drink coffee at all and only drank tea. But when i was in secondary school, i always felt so sleepy during classes and so i tried drinking coffee one day. Fyi, it was black coffee. I never really thought it was bitter but i thought it was pretty acidic cuz every time i drank it, I'll get a stomachache 😂 Well it helps with digestion honestly so that wasn't a biggie. But then i did try to drink coffee with sugar and it tasted so weird to me. I really have no idea why but i thought that coffee mixed with sugar tasted horrible. I then tried it with creamer and i liked it a bit more but still I'd drink it without adding anything cuz i got used to the taste. And that's how i accidentally got into black coffee 😂😂

I just straight up had black coffee without the gradual change. I guess it can depend on the person if gradual change would work best or not.

I have no desire to just drink black coffee. I was able to replace cream with milk and remove sugar. I’m good with this. I drink black coffee only if there is no milk around.

If you add a pinch of salt to coffee it makes it taste a little bit less bitter and more smooth

Currently im working my way to getting a taste for black coffee!! Rn my favorite coffee drink is a nitro cold brew with only a little splash of sweet cream! I havent had any high quality black coffee before so now i wanna try it 👀

I am one of those folks that uses coffee as a sedative (it works on adhd, trust me!) and I never thought I’d find a black coffee I enjoyed. Well, I found a cafecito in the Florida keys that blew my mind!!! So smooth, with a slight bitter twang at the end. Not overpowering at all. Years later I finally found a coffee joint that has beautiful roasts and a coffee lady that makes a mean black coffee. ❤sometimes just gotta keep looking.

i used to drink espresso shots directly with a bit of sugar

My dad just one day started giving me black coffee without the milk and now I just prefer it

My aunt taught me you actually appreciate the flavor of coffee ☕️ and know what's good and bad quality

My father taught me - straightforward he was a Gunnery Sargent in the Marine Corps and said in his house coffee will be served one way - Strong and Black . End of discussion ❤

Kape barrako!! I learned how to drink it when I was young since in my dad's side of family always makes it fresh in the backyard :)

I took out the milk first because at uni I was sick of having to buy milk regularly. These days I drink black filter coffee with sweetener at work, but I still drink coffee with milk and sweetener at home, and my coffee shop order is almost always a vanilla latte 😆 I can drink completely black coffee if the coffee is good, but I tend not to unless I'm really desperate for caffeine

*how can I force myself to enjoy something I don't like naturally* ? 😅

I never really learnt how to drink black coffee, it was just something I did haha, ever since I can remember my mother used to have a cup every morning before I had school and she had work, and then when I got into my early teens I just started drinking it too, now I’m 21 and that’s all I usually drink. A latte once in a while isn’t bad, but usually without sugar.

Most coffee they sell is bad. Good coffee tastes good. Cold brew is less bitter than coffee brewed with other methods, but the real trick is to add a pinch of salt to your black coffee. It decreases its acidity.

Try some of your local small coffee spots. Well made high quality coffee has so many possible tastes to try. If you still don't enjoy the taste there's nothing wrong with adding milk/sugar or w.e. The only reason to drink it black is that a good coffee you enjoy won't gain anything from additives.

The only kind of coffee I like to drink is a doppio...which is a double espresso, black. I've always thought it was delicious but I love bitter tasting things so it's wonderful to me.

A good coffee machine changed my family's whole coffee drinking experience.

I love black coffee with or without sugar.

I “learned” to drink it black when I realized regular milk messed up my tummy back in like 2011. I’d chose soy milk at Starbucks (cause back then that was the ONLY option) and was able to enjoy coffee from there freely but all the other places didn’t offer lactose free options. And since I was working and going to school I needed caffeine so I just drank it black for the caffeine, I never liked it cause it tasted sour to me. Thank goodness for the rise in pant based milk. And I rejoiced when Dunkin made almond milk an option some years later 😊

I started drinking black coffee when I was 16 and working 0600-1400 at McDonald’s. Every morning at 0630 this man in a truck and his truck would order a large black coffee. No lie , the man was gorgeous. He looked like he had his life together in his mid 40’s. He told me about the benefits of black coffee and I was sold..

Black coffee is the best ❤

Tbh, i didnt even gradually remove anything. I just thought id try it once and now i cant go back. Turkish coffee is the best ive tried so far. Sadly i dont have the equipment to make any other coffee than from a kettle but im sure ill be able to make my own high quality coffee someday.

I just started drinking my black coffee right away. It's maybe because I already have a diverse pallete so I didn't have to train it like the teacher but hey whatever is necessary. Haha

Cold brew is the way to go. It's so much more smoother than plain black coffee and personally is nicer on my stomach.

I started drinking arabic sweet coffee when I was 13 or 14, every eid when we visited family i wanted to proof that I was real coffee drinker and so I would drink black coffee, I didn't like black coffee! But I got used to it and now I drink black coffee once a week when I visit my grandma

As a barista I think cutting it with cream is totally fine, the only time I'd say drinking it black is essential or worthwhile is when it's a high quality or single origin coffee bean brewed and roasted by professionals.

A frappuccino without sugar whip or milk is just frappuccino roast (which is instant coffee) and ice

I always used to think that coffee is just supposed to taste bitter until someone who taught me how to make coffee said that it’s not supposed to taste bitter or burnt

I never thought I'd be able to drink black coffee. A few months ago, on the first day my new job, they took me to meet the CEO of the company (who was my boss 😳). I was super nervous and he offered me tea or coffee. I said coffee, expecting the typical sweet milky coffee that we get in my country. Instead, a cup of black coffee arrived 💀 I was already nervous af, I definitely did not want to drink it in front of the CEO and possibly gag from the bitterness. But I took a sip to look polite and it was actually super good, not bitter and very mild. I never realized how much the type of coffee bean and roast etc makes a difference until that day. I still don't drink it regularly tho, I love my milk so much. I do substitute sugar for honey alot tho, I think it's super good that way

Why would anyone force or train themselves to like something? Just stick to what you want, if you don't like black coffee because it's too bitter or you just prefer sweeter drinks that's cool as well

I've been drinking black coffee but with sugar since I was around 11. I only started drinking pure black coffee around last year (I was 20 then) and it was surprisingly easy for me. Partly because I have been cutting sugar from my tea in an effort to reduce my sugar intake. So my taste buds were sort of accustomed to the bitterness by then. I still like my latte and all but I usually go for black coffee when trying a new roast to get a better grasp on the flavor profile of that particular roast.

The fact that you started to drink coffee as a CHILD is horrible.

For a better black coffee experience you need your barista to pour the shot on top of the hot water so you get the Crema of the coffee

Most people I know and meet who said they can't stomach black coffee if you ask them if they ever actually tried it they'll say no they've never had any coffee that's never had any cream in it

The best way to enjoy black coffee is to reduce the coffee grinds. I made super strong coffee which I compensated with sugar and cream. The only way I could enjoy the same coffee was to add more water. Or reduce the Amt of coffee. I used to make americano double shot. I went with a single and was much easier to drink. Then just repeat.

Im a barista and I only really drink black if it is an iced americano or a pour over. I think coffee lacks the body it needs for the flavour it has.. Tea is fine because it should be light and floral, but coffee is more deep and developed and I think black coffee is often too watery

That's the same way I became used to drinking black coffee. I started drinking coffee in college. Mostly cream and sugar with a splash of coffee, lol. Nowadays if I drink coffee anyway besides black, it tastes like I'm drinking a coffee milkshake.

I like black coffee or really dark with no sugar or 1 sugar. I was recently advised against it though due to the acidity and had no idea that’s why people use milk in coffee.

I've loved black coffee since I was about 10. But I drink it both ways now. Sometimes black sometimes with soymilk

I always like mine either black with a little syrup or with a little milk. If I'm late then an iced americano
