I was never a coffee drinker for unrelated reasons, and also never acquired the taste for it even though the smell is generally nice.
But now I’m in my 40s and have multiple medical conditions (i.e., more than just the AuDHD, lol) that are treated with stimulants, so I will usually supplement my adderall with a cup of coffee in the morning and one at lunch time.
The nice thing is that I don’t have decades of tolerance and habit around the stuff, so it is still nice and potent. Instead of adding a bunch of junk to it, I just let it cool off then drink it quickly or add a chocolate protein shake to it for a few breakfast calories if I didn’t eat.
Plus even though I don’t like the taste I think the coffee at work is decent because it’s a machine that grinds whole beans, and the operations manager for our location fills the hopper with the beans himself. Some Starbucks somebody gave me recently tasted rotten in comparison. And that’s not “mischievous child” rotten, that’s carcass rotten.

Sbucks always tastes like dogshit because they burn the absolute shit out of their beans. No one goes there to taste coffee, they go because they want caffeinated vanilla pumpkin mace choco cinnamon. I can’t imagine they started that way when they were a little shop in seattle so I think when they exploded they needed a consistent flavor as the base, and the way they accomplished that was by over roasting all the variations out of the beans they got.

I have pretty severe adhd. Going thru treatment options now because cocaine isnt the standard treatment lol
I drink a lot of soda and before cocaine I was up to 4 amp energy drinks a day plus the sodas.
I was totally one of those “don’t talk to me until I’ve had coffee “ but with energy drinks
