Why does coffee smell so good, but taste so awful?
It probably is one or all of these things
1. you've only tried crappy coffee
2. you've only tried the wrong type of coffee (for example you've only tried black coffee when you might like sweetened coffee or an espresso)
3. you're senses are hypersensitive.
The third one is definitely a possibility, hypersensitivity is a symptom of ASD. So the bitterness of coffee might be amplified by your taste buds, as well as the smell.
That's how it is with me. To test if it's your sensitive taste buds, ask yourself "Do I like dark chocolate? Even if everyone else says it's not that dark? Do I sometimes find even regular chocolate bitter too?" If you answered yes to any or all of those then, congratulations, you'll probably never like coffee, or have a hard time adjusting.
All of that being said, most people agree that coffee is an acquired taste, almost no one starts out loving coffee.
