Did you ever try filter coffee from a speciality shop? Some coffee variants almost taste tea like. A whole different experience from your common bitter liquid
Oh yeah. I sometimes ask my partner to take a sip of her coffee. She asks me why I punish myself. She takes it plain black, and we get it from a ton of different places.
I've tried larger amounts to see if my palate adjusts, but it never really has. Granted, I could try harder, but there comes a point at which it's just not worth the effort. Tea is fine. Even shitty generic black teabags are okay as long as you don't steep them longer than 20-30 seconds, and maybe bulk them up with a bit of sugar and salt to cut the bitterness. Too easy to overextract them and they're usually extracted with fresh-boiling water, which is a little too hot.
Speciality coffee can be a different beast, I have tried some which have a sweetness to it
