I love the taste of coffee but can't stand the effect of coffee on my system. A single cup of coffee will keep me awake an entire night. This is why I drink decaf.

Re: on decaf
See, the other thing about me is my sense of taste is a lot different than the rest of yous. I can confidently say that ALL coffee that I have tried pretty much taste the same to me. I've tried everything from the cheapest to the most rediculously priced brands. I often find people arguing over which taste like what but to me they all taste like... coffee.
Is there something wrong with me?

Hahaha.

You could say I'm the most boring person in the world. I don't smoke, drink, or hire hookers.
All wines taste like wine, too. The only thing that's "wrong" with you is that you aren't practiced in really thinking about the way things taste.
This is probably because I'm usually not too selective. Basically, every restaurant I go to taste fine to me (and the same). Everything my wife cooks seem to taste just fine even though she (and others) occasionally would say this is too salty or that is too sour or whatnot.
Develop your sense of taste. Go to a wine tasting. Host your own coffee tasting.
But as I understand it, much of what's "good" is completely subjective. How does one of these taste events work anyway? How do people really know what's the best without reading each other's minds?
