I love the taste of coffee. But it was a learned taste.

As a child, I hated it. As a teenager, it was a cheap alternative to Mt.Dew. As an adult, I enjoy the many different of beans, brewing styles, and flavors that coffee offers.

Spend enough time in Seattle, and you will probably come around to enjoying a good cup of black coffee (aka. "Liquid Sunshine"). Or maybe not. Given that you are learning this habit later in life, you might really have work on enjoying it. ;)
