How to learn to drink coffee? xD

[Anonymous]

Okay so whenever I drink coffee, I get sick, but I really want to love it... Does someone has an idea, how I could drink it without getting all sick? I thought of drinking real Italian coffee instead of starbucks, but starbucks has so many fun flavors xD like the frappochino's

What do you mean by you get sick? Do you mean, you just think it is bitter and you don't like the flavor or something? Or are you getting a stomach ache maybe from too much sugar from those concoctions Starbucks serves up?

If the former, try a smoother coffee. Dunkin Donuts is relatively smooth. A dash of salt in the coffee grains when you brew at home can also neutralize bitterness. A clean coffee machine is important. Things like sugar/sweeteners and cream help to make it less bitter. If the later, lay off the sugary drinks... When I started drinking coffee back when I was a teenager I use to drink it with cream and sugar. Gradually over time I started drinking it without the cream, though I still use creamer, whipped cream, or even ice cream sometimes. =P

I get a stomach ache and I feel like I'm gonna throw up... :( not fun lol, but coffee smells so good and I love the taste! So that's why I want to learn how to drink it. Yeah, maybe drinking a real coffee is better, than sugary drinks from Starbucks.

Too bad I don't have a Dunkin Donuts near me (I live in Europe), but I'll def try out your tips! Thnx for your nice answer!

first of all, a frappocino isn't a coffee. Its a milkshake with a shot of espresso.

Get a a short bold. Add some milk, no sugar.

You may be bothered by the caffeine, especially if you are getting grade+ blended drinks which have multiple shots of espresso.

Get a short bold. Bold has less caffeine then milder roasts - darker the roast, less caffeine.

Maybe try a decaf Americano and see if that doesn't bother your stomach.

If you get sick, it means it's not good for you.

Coffee is full of caffeine which can be pretty addictive.

You might not like the answer, but your body knows what's good for you, if you can't yet drink coffee, don't try to force it, wait till you're a bit older.

I'm 17 now... its not like other people my age don't drink coffee right :O

[Nicci]

True, I'm 17 as well but I don't drink coffee.

Thing is people are different, there bodies are different and your body knows best.

I know you want to do it, but trust that your body knows what's best for you, sorry it's a boring answer but that's how it is really.

i am 18 and I don't drink it as much as I want to , the caffeine in it gives me headache my doc told me to stop dinking it but I can't ,

[Enideqa]

I would just not drink it, but personally I don't drink it

dont drink straight coffee, drink something that has coffee in it, for example I can't drink coffee either but I have to wake up to go fishing, so I have a Frappachino, a mocha sweet drink with a non coffee taste and it wakes me up, starbucks sells em, McDonalds sells em, dunkin doughnuts sells em, they call them coletas tho. try one their good and don't taste like coffee

Why do you want to love it? :/

Despite being English, I hate both Coffee and Tea D:

[Asker]

Because I love the smell of it, and the taste is amazing in my opinion (when its good coffee!)

[ThatBritishLad]

Strange :P

Maybe its because you're drinking too much at once? Or maybe your coffee is a bit too strong? D:

[Asker]

Possible yeah... :) thanks!
