I am amazed that you haven't had coffee before Charlie.
Growing up I didn't really like the taste. I always hated coffee flavored ice cream or candy, which made me not want to drink it for real as I got older.
Eventually I decided to stop being so picky about things, so I've slowly been adding random stuff that I used to "hate" to my list of things I don't mind eating. This includes pie, pineapple, salad, mushrooms, cooked onions (still trying on this one), coconut, cucumbers, and other stuff.
I never got around to doing it for tea and coffee, though. Over the last couple years I figured I should try it for coffee at least, just so I can drink some if it's offered socially, so I changed my mindset on it. But I didn't actually have much opportunity to drink some until I wanted warm drink + caffeine.
You think you'll continue to use it as a emergency caffeine like think or drink it more regularly?
I doubt I'll drink it regularly, and I doubt I'll use it for emergency caffeine. But if somebody offers it I might say yes, or if it's the tastiest beverage available (caffeine or not) then I might drink it. Best guess is I have two more cups in the next 5 years.
