Drink coffee with a lot sweetener and milk/cream in it at first and then slowly reduce the amount of additives while you slowly get addicted to the coffee. Eventually you will like black coffee because of how it directly satisfies the craving you have developed.

This. I can't think of anything more stupid than a coffee addiction. The worst part about it is that most of these people who claim they "need" coffee are going to Starbucks or whatever the fuck every morning and spending $4 on a cup of coffee.
By not being addicted to coffee like a degen I save $1500 a year.

Really? They are completely different tastes to me. Bitterness is more of an herbal flavor, it often has an astringent effect, like it makes your tongue feel shrunken. Sourness is a kind of bright acidity, like in the juice of a lemon.

Maybe this is what's happening? I never thought about it, but I know the difference between sour and bitter, too. My mother said it has something to do with how hot the grounds gets boiled or something, but I never really tried to figure it out. I'm shameless about drinking powdered coffee, so it's not something that really affects me.

Its not the taste, I just find it very pleasant and soothing to drink something bitter with no sweetness to it. I can even drink it cold like a juice without forcefully swallowing instead taking the taste in for a second.
I guess its similar to booze, and I absolutely do not understand how anybody can drink hard alcohol. I already get sick just from smelling a glass of vodka somebody else is drinking, it immediately makes me want to gag and I do not understand how people get over the burning sensation, I tried but I cant get over it. Yet there are people who drink a bottle of booze in one go, or people who enjoy a good whisky and keep it in their mouth until they get out every aroma and flavor.
I guess different people like different things.

When I was 17 and my friend (a coffee drinker) wanted me to learn to drink black coffee. I wanted to learn it as well since it was cool, so we decided that I would have a cup with him every day (mon-fri), and I had to drink it, no matter if I liked it or not. It took two weeks for me to go from actively disliking it to starting to look forward to that part of the day.

TL:DR - drink it every day, endure the bad taste the first days, become a coffee lover in two week’s time

Get actual good coffee. Don't get dark-roasted garbage, it tastes like cigarette ash. Find some smallish artisan roastery that roasts in small batches, buy a bag of light roasted coffee. The more pretentious sounding, the better, as retarded as that sounds.

If it has some description like "a light, mild roast with notes of cherry and stone fruit, and a bright, fruity finish" then buy that. Yes it's stupid, but it tastes good.

buy a bag of decent coffee and just fucking smell it. I never drank coffee but I became addicted to the insanely delicious smell, though unfortunately it doesn't taste quite as good as it smells

alternatively, start with a coffee/hot chocolate mix, It wont be so bitter and it will likely draw you in to the unique flavour of it

I started drinking coffee when I was 6 and am amazed at the effects people relate. Anxiety, tachycardia, needing to take a shit, I can't remember ever experiencing anything like that from coffee. I know it's nice to wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee to clear brain fog, but there's no such thing as caffeine withdrawal either. It's not addictive, just a habit.

Tasteless. I've been drinking black coffee since I was a young Cuban boy. I'm not Cuban though and no one in my family remotely is either or has had a black coffee habit. I sip it slowly. You know the taste of coffee when you sip it straight with no gay powder or girl milk. Just hot joy. I drink decaf or water down my morning coffee with decaf.

Also if you can't just sip it you have to go Ketogenic diet 100% to rewire your brain to like it. I love my black bulletproof coffee.

If your dark roast tastes like cigarette ash, or cigarette butts, then you've done something wrong. Either its WAAAYYY over-roasted or you've added to much coffee in your machine (depending on how you making it try different methods, try a V60 or a mocha pot. Go wild and try everything.)

I'm not saying that a lighter roast is bad or anything but don't dump a specific roast type just because it "tastes wrong". Usually there's something wrong from the producers standpoint or you're brewing it wrong. Try switching bean brands.
