It gives you energy which in turn makes you more effective at your job (and possibly other things). This in turn improves your life. Is it worth it given that it makes you jittery and is addictive? I don't know, but there is a lot of evidence that drinking coffee is associated with longer lifespans.

Dude, you just don't have a taste for it. I love the flavour. It's bitter, toasty, and complex.

Another part of the appeal is the "daily ritual" element and the aesthetic (not aesthetic in terms of how other people see you but how you see the experience.
There is honestly nothing like waking up early, having a slow start to the morning, grinding and preparing a fresh cup of joe and enjoying it on the couch, listening to some chill tunes and thinking on the day ahead of me.

Just fucking perfect.

That's usually people that are so devoid of any personality that they define themselves by what they consume. Most people I know just shut up about it because it's really not that big of a deal.

>Tastes like burnt water unless you load it with sugar
I like my coffee black, actually. Maybe you just had a really strong one?

>Hurts your tummy and makes you shit
Never noticed the tummy thing. Also, taking a big morning dump is pretty satisfying.

>Just makes you feel more tired unless you keep drinking more of it
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. That's the only downside in my book. However, there's still decaffeinated coffee.

>Pain in the ass to prepare
Depends on your method of preparation. Drip coffee doesn't take longer than a tea or a hot chocolate.

>Expensive if you want decent stuff
Can't judge that.

A little milk will also 'improve' the taste. Some people prefer it unimproved though.

>Hurts your tummy and makes you shit
>Just makes you feel more tired unless you keep drinking more of it
I think you might be making it incorrectly if it does these things to you.

>Pain in the ass to prepare
My coffee machine is trivial to use and I enjoy the ritual but you could always drink instant if it's an issue.

>Expensive if you want decent stuff
A good coffee machine can be but decent coffee isn't that expensive, you don't need hand ground, single origin beans just for a decent cuppa. That's for gourmets.

>Can only be drank during cold months
You can literally drink it any time. Vietnamese don't even have cold months and it's insanely popular there. Most coffee growing countries are hot places and enjoy it.

That's not really true. If you've become accustomed to the caffeine then you'll feel tired without it, and its energizing effects have a comedown period after that can also make you feel more tired than you were before having it.

What is it with you idiots and the word "addiction?" It's like you look for anything that makes people want to use it and automatically conclude "thing am bad!" It's absolutely possible for a substance:
A) To make you want to use it
B) To not be particularly harmful to your health and
C) To have beneficial effects like mild stimulation, pleasant taste, bowel regulation, etc.

Sometimes coffee gives me an insane boost in confidence and creativity, not always though, only when I'm already in a good mood. If I drink it too much I get really bad anxiety though. I don't know how people can drink it every day, just a few days in a row and I'm a nervous wreck. I'm normally not easily excitable and very centered so it's was a weird experience to feel that way. Now I know how people with a nervous personality feel, it's fucking horrible, the poor fuckers.
