Coffee is anti me
Same. I’ll admit I’ve never been much for coffee to begin with, but in the past, when offered, I’d have some to be polite. Today, though, coffee does unspeakable things to my insides that I try to avoid it at all costs.
My understanding is that for about 1/3 people, coffee acts as a crazy flush system
I’m curious as to why.
Actual health concerns like heart palpitations, drinking a diuretic, or difficulty sleeping? Heck, just want to kick the caffeine addiction or cost?
Sure. Good idea to quit.
Quitting because of some bullshit misinformation like a colon cleanse or something? Whatever. (FTR coffee may offer some protection against colorectal cancer).
Coffee Stain on Teeths, bad breath, but most importantly, it saves money. In college is common to see people unable to focus without coffee, and crave constantly before a study session, I do wonder if the habit of drinking coffee could be harming the ability to focus without it
I’m sure there are a lot of studies about coffee, and I completely agree, that they improve focus, but the withdrawal could be more harmful to concentration than without it (e.g the person who doesn’t drink caffeine could had better baseline focus compared to folks on withdrawal)
Could be environmental or fair labor concerns.
I am for tea now
I have learned that SO MANY coffee drinkers don’t understand that certain teas have to be brewed at certain temperatures. They take green, black, white, jasmine and brew all of them into boiling water!
Anyways, I do not get this coffee vs tea feud. I drink it all, sometimes even in the same day, and I thank my ancestors for discovering leaf in hot water and bean in hot water both taste good.
I literally made myself a fresh cup of coffee and also a fresh cup of tea this morning. No ragrets
That’s actually really interesting. I always like a herbal tea but for me black tea always tastes bad unless it has heaps of milk and honey. Maybe I should try boiling it at the right temperature.
I kept trying to get into coffee but like tea I just couldn’t. My mouth really dislikes both.
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
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.
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.
me too! I hate it! The only one I like is Mate tea that my ex introduced me.too. But I do use sugar.
If you like mate, you should check out guayusa and yaupon. They’re in the same family and have similar levels of caffeine, but they taste different.
