I don't drink coffee, tea, or cokes. I like the smell of coffee, but not the taste.

I like the smell of coffee, but don't care for the taste.  I do enjoy tea.

My daughter drinks coffee, so I was very happy to win a Senseo last year!  It's perfect for a home with only one coffee drinker.

I didn't start to drink coffee until I was 19- I worked in a coffee shop.  When I first started working there I thought coffee was YUCKY!!  Too many 5am starts and coffee began to look more and more appealing.  Now, I LOOOOVE coffee! 
I love coffee ice cream, coffee hard candies, coffee milk (coffee syrup - very popular in SE MA)

My sister was similar.  She hated coffee while my parents and I loved it.  When she went to Uni she stated with D&D ice coffee, lots of cream and sugar.  Now the skinny minnie drinks it black if there is no skim anywhere and needs to drink it for the caffeine. 8)

Wow...blast from the past. My mom is from Rhode Island, and we always had that as a kid.

I love coffee, but have tried to limit my intake, as the caffeine has really started ot affect me in the last few years. I also hate that I can't get a cup of simple brewed coffee for less than 1.50 in London. In New York, you can get a decent cup of coffee just about anywhere for 75 cents.

I also love coffee flavor...coffee is probably my favorite flavor of ice cream. My mother hates coffee but LOVES coffee flavor.

I like both now (although in the States I next to never drank hot tea). But I've found that tea without milk, as I drink it, really stains your teeth, worse than coffee does.

Yup! At the school I used to work at they had coffee milk at lunch for the kids and it was pretty popular too. Many future coffee drinkers that makes!

I am shocked at all the coffee-haters here  :P

Coffee lover here, but only the good stuff.  I HATE instant! hate it! And it's all you get at schools. I had a ritual at my last job...enter staff room at 10.27 when most of the teachers have gone back to their classes. Fill cup 1/3 full of milk, place in microwave for 1 minute, then take out and froth with handheld frother, then add instant vanilla coffee from Whittards and hot water and cocoa on the top. Drink grudgingly.  It was such a routine that one of the DT teachers took my handheld frother and glued neon orange lettering on it: STEPH's VIBRATOR.... ;D

I've never liked coffee and I doubt I ever will.  I try it every few years to see if it's any better but I still hate it.

I when I was a kid my favourite candy was those little coffee sweets. My grandmother always had them in a candy dish in her living room. When I was bout 7 I remember dipping my cookies in my grandfathers coffee. I always liked the taste!

I know you are not alone, you non-coffee drinkers, you!

I didn't become a coffee drinker until I spent a month in Spain when I was 18.  Then, I only had it occasionally, then only on weekends and on weekdays if we went out for coffee.  Then it became a daily thing and now, I have coffee every morning as soon as I get up and then I have a small latte at work. 

I like it with a bit of milk and never any sweetener. 

I also have an espresso maker for making lattes.  Yum. 

I refuse to drink instant or bad coffee.  I would rather go without. 

My BIL made me an iced vietnamese coffee made with espresso and sweetened condensed milk.  Soooo yummy!  Even the kids liked it!

My uncle has passed on his proclamation about instant coffee to my DH:

"Bad coffee pisses me off!"

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Another non-coffee drinker here.

I make it for my GF, and every now and then she convinces me to take a sip of some flavored coffee based drink, but it always makes me twitch.  That includes coffee flavored foods.

As for tea, i drink hot tea with her, as long as it is _heavily_ sweetened.  :)  Left on my own, i probably wouldn't drink tea even.
