> I remain convinced that coffee drinkers don't actually like coffee and only drink it for the caffine I'm your exception to this! We have a bag of decaf coffee at home to make for when we want to enjoy coffee at night, or want to add coffee to a cocktail. I wished that decaf coffee was just as available and tasty as regular coffee. It's gotten better, but not quite 100% there.
Believe it or not, I have also wished bourbon to taste exactly the same, but remove the alcohol. I enjoy the taste, but often I wish it had no alochol due to the possibility of dependence, impact on sleep, etc.

Coffee is definitely an acquired taste I think. But many things can make it sub-optimal. If its not fresh (i.e. roasted in the past two weeks and ground right before use) or if its brewed too long or ground to finely or if the water is too hot. My friend who was a barista made me a Chemex pour over with coffee roasted by the shop he worked at. It was a single origin coffee from Ethiopia Halo Bariti. He told me to slurp it while drinking it and I kid you not, I could taste blueberries in it. It was not a flavored coffee. Just because of where it was grown it had a blueberry note. It wasn't very bitter either. I was converted and have been brewing specialty coffee at home for almost 10 years now because of it.
