Eww...

As most of my friends know, I really don't like coffee (cue the "then why the hell are you living in Seattle??" questions). I think it's the biggest gyp in the world - nothing that smells that good should taste that bad. It's like reverse durian in that regard.

But many of the people I care about are coffee drinkers, so I put up with it. And properly mixed with chocolate and iced, it's drinkable.

But why on Earth does someone NEED to come up with Maple Bacon flavoured coffee???

Maple Bacon Morning- 8 oz

"Embark on a smooth sail each morning with this breakfast flavored coffee. The taste of sweet maple and smoky bacon blend perfectly to create a hearty start to your day."

Yeah, that sounds pretty vile. Maple I could understand, but bacon? hells no.

Pretty much what I was going to say :-).

I guess they want to trick you into thinking that you can drink your breakfast? Yech.

I agree with you, nothing that smells that good should taste so horrible. I cannot even stand mocha. I am a chocoholic, but the coffee flavor ruins the chocolate. Years ago, I was with a friend at one of those Harvest Festivals. They has a booth where a merchant was selling their own roast that was mixed with various flavors. My friend was a coffee drinker. She sampled several flavors. I had turned down the samples because I hate coffee, and she knew it. After drinking one sample, she said, "This one is raspberry and you can hardly taste the coffee flavor." So, I tried a sip. All I could taste was an awful coffee flavor with a very slight raspberry flavor. I told her that too many years of coffee drinking had destroyed her taste buds.

And you married a coffee drinker? It must be luvvvv! ;-)

Meanwhile, back at the original post... well that's luvvvv too. The folks who say "then why did you move to Seattle?" certainly shortchange the city and everyone living therein. Besides, if global warming keeps moving up a degree a year, it may be the garden spot of the continent soon.

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. ;)

I am SO with you on the coffee. Yuck- But why does it smell so damn good???

I always ask Joel, If you like the taste of coffee why the heck do you always put so much sugar and cream in it?

There are a few of us Northwesterners who don't like coffee.

My sister always said that given my existing energy levels it was probably just as well, anyway.
