I really dislike the taste of coffee, but the article is a very interesting read.

Funny quote:

>Coffee began to replace the common breakfast drink beverages of the time — beer and wine.



> I really dislike the taste of coffee

One of the variations on making coffee that I've read about is Black Blood of the Earth.

> Then I received my diagnosis as a Type II diabetic. I could no longer add sugar in the quantity necessary to make coffee from the cafe next door drinkable, but if I didn’t drink coffee I was in danger of not being able to actually stay awake through a morning of wrangling x-ray machines and radioactive materials. Experimentation began in earnest with BBotE as it promised to eliminate what I couldn’t stand the most about normal percolation coffee, bitterness and acidity.

The description is that it tastes like coffee smells.

I've been curious about this myself. I am not a fan of coffee but in my explorations with advent calendars of a wide range of spirits I had some spiced coffee rum which was quite enjoyable. So, if my caffeine needs lead me in that direction again, I'll likely give it a try.
