I love to drink hot chocolate, but coffee, I just couldn’t get the hang of it, and I’m not kidding when I say that one sip means a very quick to the bathroom. It would always go right through me.
LOL, I have a funny story about coffee, if you have the time...:)
As I said, I never drank coffee for the first fifty plus years of my life, and when I was in the US Navy, they used to get a five gallon tin of coffee for our “Coffee Mess” in our mechanic’s shop on the carrier.
I didn’t drink it because I didn’t like the taste, but...when you pulled that indented circular metal cover off the top of the can...it smelled unbelievably good. It was nearly toxically pleasurable, that smell of newly released aroma of ground coffee! To me, the taste of the drink never measured up.
All the guys had their own cup up on pegs and they were nasty mugs. They had gunk and grime in them, and to my eye, were evil to look at.
They made me run the Coffee Mess which involved cleaning it every day, stocking everything, and keeping it tidy. That really grated on me, because I didn’t drink coffee. I argued about it with our Chief, but he made me do it anyway.
So next time I had the duty, when I cleaned up the area, I took down all the cups and cleaned them with the surface cleaner in spray cans we used to clean the outside of the airplanes at sea because there was not enough fresh water to do it.
Boy, were they pissed at me. I thought it was because they tasted the aircraft cleaner (I could have been thrown off the catwalk into the ocean for that) but I had really washed them with soap and water after, so it couldn’t be the taste or smell of the cleaner.
Turns out, they LIKED the crud in their cups. Don’t know why, but they all, to a man, enjoyed a filthy coffee cup! They never held it against me, which I am glad of, because they sure could have.
Fast forward to now, since about the age of 58, I began drinking coffee. One cup a day in the morning. I just could not get going in the morning, and drinking it, to someone who never drank it, was like taking a hit of speed! My productivity would pop!
Heh, NOW it is just a daily habit for me! One Cup!
DH has the same problem. I made some cafe con leche one day and he drank a bit thinking it was hot chocolate. It was not a pleasant day.
I think y'all are sensitive an enzyme in it.
