I can’t stand the taste of coffee either, though freshly ground coffee beans smell delicious to me. I also can’t stand cold showers. I have to stand out of the spray when the shower first turns on and there’s a quick burst of cold water before the warm water comes in. Cold shower for me equals instant meltdown.
