[@dylnfstr]

I would like to learn to enjoy coffee. I've always hated the taste. I've enjoyed some like frappucinos from Starbucks but that's not coffee. I'd really like to drink coffee because it's cheaper and probably much more healthy than energy drinks. Especially since we have free coffee at my employer.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Yes absolutely it's much healthier than energy drinks. I understand it's hard to get used to the taste but drink it for a week and your palate will adjust. It's hard if the coffee is not high quality (which still happens a lot. In Australia we are spoiled because most places make a good coffee.) The frappuccino from Starbucks have a lot of sugar in them but just start with what you can enjoy and then slowly reduce the sugars. Good luck!

Just got hired at a place where everyone drinks coffee except me. my desk has a billion circles from coffee cups "burned" into the wood, from the last guy who had my desk. I do feel quite "out", because i can't grab a cup every once in a while.... sounds like i basically just have to "get used to it". Thank you. very nice, positive and motivational little video! great work

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Hopefully you're never made to feel bad because you don't drink coffee. I think most people can enjoy coffee once they get adjusted to the flavour but if somebody doesn't drink it they shouldn't feel bad. 👌

[@yamiyukiko7362]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've wanted to learn how to like coffee for a long time and you really helped to answer a lot of the lingering questions I had about where to start. Coffee is a much larger category than 'just drink it' and that complexity gets confusing. I'm going to use your advice! :)

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

You're welcome Dave! You're so right, it is much larger than just drink it, and the people who only just drink filter Gesha need to understand that it isn't the ONLY way to drink it. It is still an art and therefore subjective.

[@alarcilam]

Awesome video and best explanation ever.. I as many, started right at the bottom. And now I appreciate both sides: a good milk coffee in the morning and a black one in the afternoon. Still trying to adapt my palate and discover the flavours though but at least I can tell there is a difference in flavour from one coffee to another.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Same with me! I love all brews as long as it's with good coffee and good milk. ☺️

[@sptownsend999]

I'm definitely going to try this! I can't remember the first time I tried coffee, but when I was about 12 or 13 was the first time someone poured me a cup -- I tried it with milk and a bit of sugar at first, but it wasn't great, so I added more sugar, and *somehow that made it worse.* The next time I had coffee, I was on a road trip with Dad and desperately needed something to wet my whistle. Dad had a bit of day-old Folgers in his thermos that I finished black. Both experiences turned my stomach in knots 😆😆

[@carelinevega8128]

I find cold brews easier to drink, I do add 1 sugar and a splash of milk. I have being trying it for 2 weeks now. Great video

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

That's fantastic! Yes, cold brew takes out all th bitterness and acidity and so you get the smoothest coffee. 😍👌 Thanks!

[@Cloudontheskyy]

I have spent tons of money on coffee appreciation training and classes. But so far none of them actually work and I cannot purely enjoy the coffee. I went to doctor last week and got diagnosed Disorder Automatic Nervous System which causes all of the coffee goes into my mouth taste like horse piss. I am still struggling everyday finding the way to love the coffee and it makes me depressed. Please publish more video on this

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Oh so sorry to hear that! That's a very sad for you and I hope you can reverse the disorder (or is that not possible?) And start to enjoy coffee. Does it affect your other tastes as well?

[@nuria5988]

I recommend trying to: mix 2 tea spoons of sugar, 2 tea spoons of instant coffee. Then mix it. Then put it in a glass. Add a lot of milk. Add ice cubes. Then with time you will get more comfortable with adding more coffee

This is helpful for a person like me who’s just coming out of Mormonism, where coffee is forbidden. I’m in my early thirties and I feel so behind and clueless when it comes to coffee.

Oh sorry to hear about that! I didn't realise it was forbidden!? Why is that? And don't feel left behind, there is soooo much more that we need to learn about coffee and for what its worth I still think most consumers are still only able to recognise a good coffee and a bad coffee but don't completely understand why. Just start by finding the coffee drink that you enjoy the most! :)

Coffee Beans Delivered in the Mormon religion, there are lots of rules members are pressured to follow so they can achieve the ‘ highest heaven’ and one of those rules is to not drink coffee or tea.

One of the best things I can recommend is getting a Mocha Madness at Tropical Smoothie, you get a nice smoothie with a kick of the coffee flavor, so when you start drinking actual coffee you begin to associate it with a smoothie

[@Daves_PianoAndPipes]

Thanks for sharing your insights! Very well made video. For me, I started to like coffee when I started getting used to Cappuccinos. A friend of mine had a nice little coffee capsule machine that inspired me, and the taste was not so harsh. Also, the crema on top made it much more enjoyable for me. Then, as I discovered coffee from freshly ground good quality beans, I really started to notide the difference between good and bad coffee.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Thank you! Yes it's amazing the difference between freshly ground coffee and preground. The grinder might actually be the most important piece of coffee equipment.

[@Daves_PianoAndPipes]

@@Rydecoffeecoach Agree on that one!

[@Based_Chameleon]

I've been vegan for 9 years and as someone who is really disgusted by the taste of coffee I've gotta be honest. Not drinking coffee makes me feel much more like a social outcast than not eating animal products. It's just weird seeing our society being obsessed with this drink when you can't even force down two sips without cringing. The bitter taste in coffee is so dominant I can't taste any of the natural flavors. It coats my whole mouth and I just feel disgusted.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

I feel like you haven't had the opportunity to try high quality coffee. There are so many alternate mylks out there that you don't have to feel outcast. I agree, it's weird how obsessed we become with it, but luckily it has health benefits so it's not like cigarettes or anything. Black coffee can take some palate adjustments but if you like tea, and you get your hands on a excellent quality filter coffee, you'll see how yummy coffee can actually taste.

[@jackinquisitor9645]

Vegan? Can’t believe one can accept that

[@jackinquisitor9645]

I highly recommend you to try light roast, not bitter, only sour

Try drinking it with almond milk

[@no-hr6rj]

exactly this. i've had a few different types and every time i try it i simply cannot choke it done unless it's like 65% things that are not coffee. and even then i'm not exactly happy about it. i don't have anything against the coffee enjoyers, i totally relate to the whole outcast feeling and wish i could like it too, but i'm yet to try a single cup i can appreciate without a ton of dilution. :(

[@Daves_PianoAndPipes]

Also, I think the flavour of the beans make a big difference. Like, my first coffee experiences were with really sour beans, and that just made me hate coffee... Then when I tried some more dark roast / less fruity and sour flavoured beans, I thought it was a HUGE difference...

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Yes there's definitely some personal preference. Some people hate the fruity flavours when having coffee with milk because it makes them think the milk has gone bad. And there was/is a fad where some roaster like light roasted coffee for espresso, but I personally hate it because it's too sour tasting.

[@Daves_PianoAndPipes]

@@Rydecoffeecoach Yes, exactly 😊 To be honest, most cafes I've been to have really sour espresso... Except one, that I visited more than a year ago. That's probably the best espresso I've ever had... I really should ask them what beans they used 😊

I’m a barista and I feel horrible selling coffee since so hate it. So hopefully this helps

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Look, it's ok to still make coffee if you hate it, even when you're a barista, as long as your customers can give you feedback and you know what to do. But the question you need to ask is, why do you hate it? Do the other baristas like it? Make them one and ask them if it's acceptable. It is rare but I have known a few baristas who could make great coffee but didn't drink it. In the end, you need taste as the final way to adjust your settings to make better coffee. Without it, I think it's too hard. But keep chipping away at it and maybe in a couple of months you'll find the sweetness to it. 👌

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Yes it's really hard to adapt to the natural flavour of coffee if the coffee quality is low. Try to find a good coffee roaster (medium roast coffee, not dark) and start with freshly brewed French press or even cold press (if you like iced drinks). Give yourself a week to adjust your palate and you'll get over the hurdle. 💪👌

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

I mean, you're doing great if you're drinking Caps so don't worry too much. If you're wanting to take the next step into purely black coffee then I would suggest finding a local cafe/Roastery that focuses on specialty coffee and offer single origin coffees above 80+ quality score, have a great machine (LM, Synesso, San Remo, Slayer etc.) Ask them to make you a long black (Americano) and maybe add a dash of milk if you can't face straight black. Choke it down for a week or two every day. This will get your palate to adjust past the initial shock of the intensity of pure Black coffee. I would say by the end of the first week you should be able to drop the splash of milk and then your tongue will identify the sweetness in the coffee. It's up from there! 🤞🤞🙌 Please let me know how you go. I might even do a video experimenting with getting people past milk. Oh another option is to do this but with filter coffees or cold brews which are much sweeter and less intense.

[@Grotomode]

I used to be the person that ordered a mocha from Starbucks and then added 10 more sachets of brown sugar in it to enjoy it.... Yikes! Buuuut then I started working at Starbucks, and even though their coffee is mediocre at best (not just what you get in the cup but the beans as well), their habit of having their baristas do regular coffee tastings of straight up black coffee, made me get used to black unsweetened coffee and only then did I start to pick up on flavours and nuance in coffees. It has been an ever evolving journey ever since, browsing local roasteries and cafes for good coffee, up until a couple of months ago when I had my first espresso that I actually thoroughly enjoyed (no sugar added!). Now at home I have a V60 that I use to brew filter coffee with (for those who do not know its nothing complicated, its just a plastic cone for those who do not have a drip filter machine) and I get such flavors out of my beans that I would never have imagined! Yes, "specialty coffee" sounds pretentious, but if we all ditch over-roasted bitter supermarket coffee and turn to (preferably ethical and sustainable) specialty coffee, we will all be enjoying top quality without it having to be "special". ;)

Its definitely hard to get past that first point of the actual "coffee" taste (especially if you hate the smell, which is what most people really love). Where are you located? If you can find good quality coffee (as in, not burnt, dark roasted, cheap beans or instant) and just accept you're going to hate it for a week or so as your palate adjusts, drink it everyday for a fortnight and see if you still hate it.

Sorry, I thought I already responded to your question! But depending on your budget I would look at the Breville Dual Boiler because, for it's price it's almost unbeatable when it comes to creating cafe quality coffee with ease of use and speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3nLmpWIrZ12gLs For prep and clean up you can't beat the Breville. If you have more money at your disposal I would look at the Giotto Rocket but you're looking at double the price. I don't sell them nor do I have any affiliation with Breville and I don't like the Barista Express at all but the BES920 is a great machine. For a grinder I would recommend the Breville Smart grinder pro as a base option or a Baratza sette 270 for something really nice. I can't say which beans you should get in the US as I haven't tried them, but I've heard great things about Onyx coffee. I think it will just be a trial and error thing until you find the coffee that suits your palate, but just use the price as a guide (general rule of thumb is the more expensive the better quality). Also, don't worry if you say Expresso instead of Espresso. It's not something that offends me. :)

Oh you're not doing anything wrong. But don't force yourself to drink it black if you really hate it. 😥 You definitely should be enjoying it. 🤗 There are still lots of nutrients in coffee with milk too and it's better to enjoy it than not. I'd say you're doing everything right but you've got the wrong coffee still. Look for a quality score over 82, if they don't have a number on it, it usually means it's under 80 and might not be quality enough. Ask for a medium roast. In the US you have a lot of different names for every stage of roasting so it could be difficult finding the right roast but closest to medium-light is the best for sweetness and low bitterness. If you like you can buy some coffee from me and I'll ship it to you. 👌

[@ericdanthon2]

I really do hate the sediment from the French press so I am getting rid of that. I am down to the pour over method.! I must tell you something.

[@AshtonSnapp]

I feel like I need the caffeine honestly. Not a morning person, having a source of caffeine would be great to make me actually feel awake. But I’ve _never_ liked coffee. I think it might be due to the fact that I can’t smell. Smell makes up a majority of what we perceive as taste, so not being able to smell therefore means my taste is different. And coffee has always had what I can only describe as a strange aftertaste that I simply don’t like. I don’t know if I’ll ever find a coffee that doesn’t have that aftertaste.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

That's very sad to hear Ashton! Yes I would agree, the coffee smells are amazing and a big part of the experience. The aftertaste should be long and sweet, but unfortunately when it's bad the aftertaste is like dirty socks and lasts for even longer! 😥 Whereabouts are you located?

I gotta be honest. I don't think any amount of time is going to make me like pure black coffee. Lattes and cappuccinos are the only kind I *like* drinking and I can put up with black coffee if it has cream or milk or sugar in it if I have to.

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Whereabouts are you located? If you're able to get hold of some specialty coffees (80+ quality score) you might find its so much sweeter than many black coffees on the market. That's just because the majority of the coffees around are quite low quality (~60-70s score) they are allowed to have more defects in the mix which make it taste like dirty socks. I have converted many people to (enjoying) pure black coffees by giving them a week of long blacks on 89+ scoring coffee but they did need a reason to do so (eg: lose weight, reduce milk intake, healthier liefstyle etc). I agree, it probably wont be something you'd do just for the enjoyment because with milk, the coffee does taste sweeter and smoother.

Hi-- First off, amazing fantastic video, extremely underrated. I'm wondering what I should do about home brews made with K Cups? I just normally add a bit of milk, but its always really bitter and dark, and every so often it will be a lot better, so its very inconsistent. Thank you!

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Oh thank you soo much!!

[@Rydecoffeecoach]

Peachy, I think the best way to approach the k-cups is to find a reusable pod so you can add your own coffee into it. The problem with coffee pods is that sometimes the coffee is already 6 months old by the time you buy it. With reusable pods you can buy fresh local coffee from a roaster that you trust and you can use that coffee in your pods.

They do keep it sealed but they might not have used fresh coffee in them in the first place. It really comes down to the coffee used. Always best to get high quality beans and grind yourself as you make coffee each day. This keeps all the oils locked in and will give you the tastiest results.
