I only recently pulled it off in my 30s, after I got tired of fretting about my teeth from getting my caffeine largely from diet soda. I’ve taken up black tea as well. The bitterness comes to be a pleasant sting, like the acidity of soda, which by contrast seems to taste more like acid to me all the time.
Imo you acquire a taste for it if you ever have a job that starts too early and has readily free coffee available.
7 AM shifts made me a coffee addict
5:30am job with a free coffee machine on site got me.
Yeah, my mother told me she gained a taste for it in college. I just drank soda still, I never could gain the taste.
Maybe were it free…
You might have the genetics for hating it. I’m old AF meow and I never could Stockholm’s my way into liking it. It just tastes like bitter dirt water.

If you can’t Stockholm your way into it, you might wanna make it a bit Sweder (i’m so sorry)
