"I'd like an iced cafe mocha please."

I can't stand the taste of coffee. I really want to like it but every time I've tried over the years (for probably a decade now), I can't stand it. I've tried sweetened dessert coffees from cafés, lattes (which everyone says I should like so it's a mystery why I don't), and everything else I can think of. As soon as I hit the coffee taste, I need some other drink to flush my taste palette. :(

I did manage to get myself to like some teas, though. So I tend to drink that when most people would drink coffee. (Except in the morning because I don't find the caffeine affects me much when it comes to tea.) I tend to put lots of honey in, as well as sugar since I'm still not a huge fan of the bitter. When I go to cafés, I tend to get drinks that have tea in them. It's not coffee, but at least I don't feel super lame about my orders when I go to Starbucks anymore.

If I get coffee, it's a light roasted (in a flavor, usually french vanilla or caramel something) with a looooot of sugar. Creme isn't necessary, so I kind of like to say that I drink it black since it's still black since I don't put any creme in it tehehehee!!

I don't need coffee to wake up in the morning, I can wake myself up fairly easily. I've been staying over at a friend's place a lot lately and he drinks a coffee in the morning, so every now and then I'll have one with him even though I'm not really a coffee drinker I have mine with one teaspoon of coffee, four teaspoons of sugar and milk.

The only time I drink coffee is when I'm literally too tired to function in the morning (and that's about once or twice a month). When I do get it, it's black and full of caffeine: I'm not drinking it for pleasure, as I hate the taste of it. It's purely for the ability to get me up, for which it's wonderful at doing! Horrible, but wonderful.

I'll drink coffee in a social setting like at a restaurant or something, but I don't drink it regularly or for its intended purpose. I keep espresso in the house for entertaining purposes since it's a family tradition to serve espresso and cookies to your guests after dinner. Oddly enough, I don't keep any kind of vanilla creamer or anything. I love vanilla things. If there's vanilla, then I don't even need sugar.
