Probably similar to that "bitterness" test that a lot of kids got to do in science class where you taste that little strip of paper. To some it's nothing, to others it's very bitter. Genetics has given some the extra "taste", supposedly that might allow people to avoid eating poisonous things containing oxalates or glucosinates. Unfortunately it also means you probably dislike things lie IPA beers or other foods that have bitter compounds that don't bother others.

wait does cofee dosent taste sour to other pepole ?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It tastes really bitter to me. I don't understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.

Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I'd be drinking that stuff non stop.

Coffee ice cream?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I dislike all coffee flavoured things I've ever tried, including ice cream and chocolates.

Oh, you got it worst than me. I dislike most chocolate things and coffee ice-cream/shakes work for me. Well bright side is one less thing to indulge in that is not needed.

Some coffee does.

I have a high sensitivity to sour. It sucks. Apples are often too sour. So it's not just ants, or bitterness.
