A lot of things taste bad when you are a child. If you are young and drink coffee for the first time it will just be bitter. But some day you might develop a taste for the different rich flavours coffee contains, the different levels and kinds of bitterness, you will train your taste. Of course you can also just never try and stay with Dr. Pepper, and that is alright. Nor everybody can enjoy a good wine, a good cigar or a good coffee. I just have not a taste for wine. But do I go around and yell that wine tastes like shit and people get addicted so it sucks? No I don’t, so have a little bit of respect for what other people may like or may not like.

I eat apples because they taste sweet. Same for other fruit. I like beans and soups for their taste, texture, aroma and nutritional value… They make my tummy happy.
Coffee on the otherhand tastes awful, smells like ball bearing grease and look like rust behind the toilet bowl. Why do people drink that? Plus it is sometimes hot like lava and sometimes cold. If you don’t drink it, your tummy hurts for it. If you drink it you mind runs crazy and your heartbeat is not steady. It’s a piece of shit in all sorts of ways. Doctors try to get money by telling us how a cup a day affects our life. But outside in nature there are so many much more appealing things to make into a drink… Why focus on coffee? Heck pistachios can be blended into a really good tasting drink.

When I enter a place where coffee is brewing, the smell is amazing IMO.
Not liking coffee is kind of like not liking Chocolate IMO, the 2 beans are used very differently, chocolate is always with sweetener and often with cream.Have you tried coffee with a bit of cream in it? And maybe with a bit of sugar too.

I think the stats disagree with you, not many drinks are more popular than coffee, I can only think of tea and beer that are equally popular.

I didn’t like coffee until I happened to try some literally home grown and home roasted. Was super nice, smooth and fruity. Since then I like that one and those similar to it. Coffee also objectively tastes different depending on where it was grown (Colombia/Mexico is acidic, slightly) and how it was roasted.

Well that’s highly subjective. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but good coffee absolutely tastes great.
Again, highly subjective. Most people, even the ones that hate how coffee tastes, generally like the smell of fresh coffee. It’s a great aroma.
Never experienced this
You probably just have a caffeine sensitivity. Most people do not experience this.
