My Coffee Problem

I finally discovered the delights of coffee. It took me almost 40 years on this planet before I realized what I wasn’t liking about it.

My mouth is a little drier than some and because of that my taste buds can be extra sensitive to some flavours like bitter. This includes hoppy gluten free beers, grapefruit, and most coffee I tried before. That bitter taste was akin to ear wax. As such, I couldn’t understand why anyone liked it.

I really wanted to like coffee. Some of my reasons were social and there’s the obvious mental benefits, but it’s also supposed to be good for liver health. Besides, I’ve been told writers are supposed to like coffee.

So I got into researching my coffee problem one day and I discovered that the more roasted a bean is, the harsher the flavour. Enter blonde or light roasts and my coffee problem has been solved!

I guess blonde coffees are more fun for me 😉
