How to start drinking coffee?

Question

I'm 16 and would like to start drinking coffee, but am worried about the strong taste. What could I use etc, coffee mate. Any recommened flavors. Any brands, also preferences. Also how should I in general start.

Answer 1

DRINK IT BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Answer 2

do you like cold or hot, sweet or robust drinks??  if you're open to try anything, just start off w/ prepared drinks at coffee shops.  then you can move on to preparing your own coffee drinks as there's hundreds of different types of coffee drink recipes online.  just try to flavor your coffee w/brown sugar instead of white sugar.  avoid coffee mate, it's junk.

Answer 3

LOL. If you don't want caffeine drink decaf. Also use liquid cream instead of powder...I think it tastes better. Use coffee mate.

Answer 4

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Why would you want to start doing something you don't particularly like in the first place?? It's stupid. If you don't like it do not drink. That' all.

Answer 5

go to starbucks :)

and experimenttt.

Answer 6

Add more cream than sugar can let the bitter taste be lesser. Have fun trying, coffee is irresistable.

Answer 7

Well, first, I would suggest not starting drinking coffee. The initial stimulation is great, and has been medically proven to increase memory, and brain function. The impending crash, however, is not worth it. Not to mention the emotional addiction that you get.

Other than that, the best way to start drinking coffee is to find a flavor you like. There are many different types of coffees out there that are manufactured for the purpose of hiding the strong coffee flavor; starbucks for example.

If you have a coffee maker at the house and want to wien your way into black coffee, try making it less strong at first. The coffee at your local grocer will say how strong it is on the label.

Answer 8

kay,

go to starbucks,

and order a carmel or mocha frap.

it has the carmel or chocolate flavor, and the coffee

its good if you want to be introduced to the strong but good coffee flavor :)

Answer 9

Answer 15

dont start. its a terrible habbit. NO I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!

Answer 16

STARBUCKS!!

Answer 17

I am 14 years old and I started drinking coffee because most of my friends did. But, if you get the mocha flavored coffee from starbucks (which they have in most gas stations) it basically tastes like chocolate milk and if you drink it for like 2 weeks it totally grows on you. I actually almost can't live without it now. So, GOOD LUCK on your coffee explorations.

Answer 18

when you brew the coffee use more water and less coffee. then cut your cup half with milk. add sugar until it is sweet enough for you.

Answer 19

try drinking the frapacinos and other drinks like that

thats what i had at first and now coffee doesnt bother me that much anymore

Answer 20

Maxwell House instant, or D&D brew.

Instant use one spoonfull, and three spoons of sugar.

For the brew your gonna wanna use 4 tablespoons of coffee to 3 cups (or 4) of water. Use same amount of sugar. Cream works best, half and halfs okay. Milk is typical.

Good luck and enjoy.

Answer 21

aw sick why u wanna start its not a good habit wake up the normal way you dont need that ****

Answer 22

i use 1 spoonful of the regular coffee mate and 1 spoonful of sugar, and i'm 16 too. i drink folgers because that's what my dad drinks.

Answer 23

Flavored coffees are great, my preference is vanilla. Some milk will make it taste smoother.

The best tasting coffee is recently roasted gourmet coffee that you grind just before you brew it. You don't store coffee longer than a month. Check the catalog at Don Francisco's, which is my favorite.

Answer 24

just go somewhere and try testers and just see what is your favorite over a period of time..  :D

Answer 25

Coffee really isn't good for you....but who am i to preach? Im addicted. If you really want to start, go to starbucks and order different drinks like  a Caramel Frappucino/Macchiato. They are sweet enough to take the edge off the bitterness. Soon you'll be a straight up expresso addict.. like me :)

Answer 26

Just get some coffe any brand and try them out see which you like best., I'd take coffe mate creamer it will taste better with that.. ;)

Answer 27

Start by getting yourself a coffee maker and a coffee grinder...if it's just you, there are plenty of small single server machines on the market and by grinding your own coffee you get a fresher tasking cup of coffee.  So you would purchase a bag of coffee beans and not ground coffee. Don't get me wrong ground coffee is not bad it's just not quite as fresh.  I prefer flavored coffees...regular coffee is fine but I feel they definitely need some sort of sweetener and milk or 1/2 and 1/2.  

Answer 28

Coffee is a gateway to other bad habits. Wait till you're 18.  

Answer 29

Cream and sugar

Answer 30

try decaf it's not that strong or watery coffee
