A guy from Gas Buddy said that 40% of metro Atlanta gas stations were out of gas last night.
Coffee coats my tongue with foul coffee-shit-breath-flavor, even only drinking one cup a day. I bought a tongue scraper, but it’s still nasty. I don’t even like the taste of coffee; why do I do this to myself?
My amazing handsome husband apparently filled (my) car on Sunday - the guzzler will live!
Are you drinking it for the caffeine?
Not really, caffeine doesn’t really affect me either way. I don’t have any good reason to keep drinking it, other than it’s a part of my routine and I am attached to my routines on some level I don’t understand (I’m on the spectrum, so I’ve simply accepted some facts about myself).
Have you tried a different type of coffee? The bitterness can vary quite a bit where morning/breakfast blends tend to be less “sit on your tongue” type taste.

The issue is my husband. He likes his coffee, actually likes it, and likes to drink it without a paper filter (we have a ninja coffee maker with a built in meshy one), so we get all the oils and such. We do drink a breakfast blend, so the bitterness is less there, but it’s made up for by being brewed extra strength. Meh.
In the summer, I drink Stok cold brew. I’ve made my own, but it doesn’t end up being much cheaper to just buy it, plus Stok is really smooth. Much less of the coffee breath/tongue murder.
Haha that’s fair. I worked opening at Starbucks for a couple years in college so I basically got used to the coffee taste in order to survive on so few hours of sleep such that I now actually enjoy the taste of black coffee, but I definitely sympathize with those who think it tastes like mud, etc.
I use a Keurig mostly currently so it’s easy to try different pods, it sounds like you have a legit setup which is nice. Perhaps just a touch of sugar to take the edge off?

A touch? I pump that shitwater with sugar free syrups (I have a whole setup with about 8 different flavors) and at least 2 full servings of half and half. =)

Didnt you have a thread on the ao demanding we all agree with you that coffee is terrible? I didnt realize you actually drink it regularly. You should quit. I love coffee, but it isnt a great habit.

There are many alternative beverages that include the caffeine you may be craving.
Apparently? Was there a possibility of someone else doing it?
Well I haven’t actually went out and checked, it could be a trap.

Maybe someone took it for a joyride then filled it up before returning it?
I relatively recently converted to green tea w/ honey as I also can’t get past the fact that coffee tastes gross.

@NerdAlert why did you get in the habit of drinking coffee in the first place if you hate it?
I think I had put this in my “Coffee is actually really terrible” thread on the AO. I didn’t drink it until I was living in the UK for a secondment. I had insomnia and the office had an espresso machine. I would take shots of espresso just to keep my eyelids open during the day. Started drinking more and more of it, then just switched over to regular coffee because it was awful and regular coffee was slightly less so. It became a habit, which I continued when I got back, even though it never did much to keep me awake in the first place.
