I didn't drink coffee regularly until I was in San Francisco in my mid-twenties.
I didn't drink coffee until I was 30. I have managed to curb my 12 cup pot+ consumption of black caffeinated coffee to only 3-4 mugs of decaf now. I do make a yummy keto-friendly mocha with cocoa, stevia, and heavy cream most mornings now. I haven't missed the caffeine after doing half and half for a time.
Ah, David. I feel your pain. I don't miss the hectic morning routines at all. Although I did generally do the lunch thing at night. Until I talked them into school lunch which was awesome.
That is delightful to read, Calli!
I’m 54, and I still haven’t gotten around to drinking coffee. That’s because coffee is gross.
I was always a tea drinker. My husband tried to get me to drink coffee, but he drank it with sugar and cream and I didn't like it. When I was stuck in an airport long long ago they had free coffee and water for the people waiting so I poured some black, like I drank tea. And I liked it. DH at the time said he wished I never started because he never got more than one cup out of a pot after that because I drank it faster than he did.
Scola knows where it's at.
I didn't drink coffee until I was in college, and I took it cut with hot chocolate for a while, or as Irish coffee if that was an option, but coffee ice cream was always a favorite. I have drifted away from the daily habit, but I do enjoy it when I have it at this point.
I would cast aspersions on you coffee shunners, except that you make more coffee available for me to guzzle, so I actually thank you. (Weirdos.)
Yay no cancer!!!
I also started drinking coffee in college, with lots of milk and flavor.
