So I suddenly like coffee? Login/Join

Long story short, Drinking Bros is a podcast that I will listen to in the summer time when I mow the lawn.

The guys behind Drinking Bros own a coffee company called Black Rifle Coffee Company. I've never liked coffee, in fact, I've always found it to be disgusting. I've only tried it a few times in my life, but I've ran for my tooth brush every time to get that taste out of my mouth.

My wife likes coffee, so while in a new Fin, Feather and Fur in town this past weekend, I bought some on an impulse while checking out for her. I also snagged a mug from them simply because it had an EBR on it.

I figured I should take the first sip from the mug since it was a "gun mug." Go figure, but I actually enjoyed it. I poured myself a full cup and drank it. Ever since, I've been drinking coffee in the morning and love it.

So crazy. Always been a diet pop in the morning kind of guy. Just a reminder to periodically try new things, cause ya' neva' know. I turn 41 in 2 weeks and suddenly love coffee.

I started liking coffee when I started really enjoying the taste of beer. Oddly, I just can’t get a taste for wine.

It took me a while to warm up to the taste of coffee too. Guess which brand got me hooked? Black Rifle Coffee!

You will find many here enjoy the delectable taste of their coffee. Their advertising videos are also worth watching, especially if you are around some hipsters/millennials. Triggers them every single time Wink

Welcome to the club! I've been drinking coffee for almost 30 years now and can't go a day w/out it. I like trying different coffees from all over the world now; some suck and some are really good. I have yet to try Black Rifle Coffee though.

I only drink coffee when I need a kick in the morning at the office to finish waking up. I have to put a LOT of sugar in it to overcome the bitterness of the coffee. Of course it doesn't help that my coworkers are all coffee nuts and insist on having the most potent, vile, nasty variety possible in the machine. It's either that or decaf, and that would defeat the whole purpose.

That's the odd thing, I've been drinking it black. I should try other bitter things that I've never liked before and see if I like them now too.

E.S. Dunbar - I think the reason why you never liked coffee previously was because you drank poor quality coffee, which was poorly prepared. If you start getting quality coffee beans, and then prepare those beans properly in a quality drip coffee machine, or prepare the beans in a French Press, you will be surprised at how good coffee tastes. Heck, good coffee does not even taste bitter.
Good coffee beans produce a drink that is not at all like gas station coffee or coffee from the office coffee machine


If you think you can, YOU WILL!!!!!

Good coffee is my daily treat, good beer, my weekend treat and for some reason my love of both came at around the same time.

I didn't like coffee or beer until college in Portland. That liberal hellhole does have some good things; coffee, micro breweries and food trucks!

Never really liked the taste of coffee, always drink it for the morning buzz, always cream and sugar, never black, and this morning a touch of whipped cream!

Drinking it black is the sign that you truly like coffee. I gotta wonder about people who add so much cream and sugar that their spoon stands up in the coffee.

The downside to black coffee is there is nothing in their to mask bad beans so quality (i.e. pricey) coffee is a must. I'm drinking 100% Kona as I type.

I have been drinking coffee since I was 14. That would be 67 years. Started with coffee brewed up in a gallon tin can, over a campfire, elk hunting, out in the wilds of N. Idaho. Really got into it when I went into the army at age 17. Been drinking it ever since. Usually 2 large insulated mugs in the morning, another couple during the day. Even in the evening. No problem sleeping.

We drink Kirkland coffee from Costco.

Many brands of coffee merely have a nasty burnt flavor. I have been liking coffees from Brazil and Vietnam recently. The Trung Nguyen is a favorite.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

If the bitterness or acidity is a problem with hot coffee try cold brewed coffee, the process gets rid of those problems with coffee.
