I imagine everyone who drinks coffee does so because they like it... else they wouldn't drink it. Some enjoy the flavor of straight coffee more than others, sure.

I don't really understand how getting into coffee as a hobby makes it any less of a drug. You're still consuming caffeine. There's just as much of a hobby scene around marijuana; hobbyists are still consuming THC.

I absolutely love coffee and if I could get the same taste without caffeine, that would be a dream for I can then drink as much as I want!

I love the taste and the aroma. Good luck with your hunt for the perfect espresso! There is no other feeling like capturing the essence of those beans into a shot of espresso.

I love the flavor of black coffee. TBH I enjoy the flavor and the ritual of coffee making much much more than the caffeine kick (which is nice too). I'd actually drink more than one coffee cup a day if it weren't for the side effects.

No, decaf is a sin.

Coffee doesn't wake me up and I can drink it just before sleeping.

I just love the smell of freshly ground coffee and taste is phenomenal. I drink it with cinamone, very strong, just in boiled water (without any coffee making device) and totally without any sugar and with lots of cream. A sip of goat's milk.

However, It does seem to make me anxious.

I do. I really enjoy an expresso after lunch, and sometimes one in the morning when I arrive at the office, but it's really for pleasure and not addiction. If I don't have access to good coffee, e.g. when I work from home, I don't drink coffee at all.

Indeed, there is something magical about a warm cup of dark coffee for me to sip while thinking over some problem. The way it's warm in my hands, the lingering somewhat bitter aftertaste, and the smell and aroma from the cup.

Just got my first espresso machine during WFH. It's a great hobby, I'm so happy every morning.
