Can I brew it?

58/100

Are you a coffee lover? Then it is you who should read this and help me understand the hype around coffee. Also, tell me which coffee will make me fall in love with coffee? The header picture is of the coffee my partner had in Nainital, I mean just look at it. I want to love coffee but I have not been successful so far.

Something noteworthy or what generally raises eyebrows around me is the fact that I did not have coffee or tea for almost 20 years of my starting life. Yep, mom was not really in favor of me having any of these and when I was old enough to have made the decision for myself I never really liked the fragrance to venture further. All I had was milk with some energy or protein powder. Growing up I did get hooked to green tea. It makes me feel like I am sitting surrounded by hills with cold breeze enveloping me. Green tea tastes and feels like vacation. Give me all types of green tea and I will have it happily. It’s refreshing and soothing. I love it and have tried so many flavors, cannot get enough of it. So, I know that’s how coffee lovers must feel about coffee and not being able to develop that taste gives me FOMO. Not like I have not tried it. My partner is addicted to Starbucks “java chip Frappuccino” and I have tried tasting it almost twice or thrice and it made me puke. Just today I ordered Mocha Chip Frappuccino and that felt too sweet so I could not have it. I have heard so much about black coffee with or without sugar but how do I make it? What do I need? I am a coffee noob. Help. Help. Help.

I was really excited for my coffee today and very disappointed when I, yet again, did not like it. So, I decided now that I have made so many new friends, maybe they can help me? Sorry if this feels random. I wanted to casual chatty post as cannot do heavy duty stuff on Fridays. Looking forward to hear your views and how coffee makes you feel. You can let me know what other beverage you like, it does not have to be coffee!
