Enjoying coffee isn't a given for everyone. It can take time to become accustomed to the flavor of coffee; if you're interested in trying coffee and learning to like it, take it gradually and pace yourself.



  1. 1
    Start drinking coffee substitutions or imitation coffee drinks. Inca and Caro are popular brands of roasted grain beverages. They are used by people for medical or religious reasons.
  2. 2
    Try to get into drinking tea. While soft drinks may carry 0 to 50 milligrams of caffeine per serving and usually served cold, tea has a similar amount of caffeine to coffee and usually served hot. There are about 40 to 120 mg of caffeine in an 8 ounce (240 ml) serving of black tea, versus about 95 to 200 mg of caffeine in an 8 ounce generic brewed cup of coffee.[1]
  3. 3
    Start drinking the coffee fairly weak. Coffee doesn't need huge amounts of caffeine to be good. Pure espresso shots, instant coffee, and decaf coffee all have lesser amounts of caffeine than a standard cup of drip brewed coffee. Try a very milky cup of coffee with 1-2 teaspoons of quality instant coffee powder added to it.
  4. 4
    Wean off from milk amounts. Start to add a bit less milk and a little bit more coffee. If you're happy or content with the weaker version, stick with it.
  5. 5
    Dilute your coffee with ice or get into liking iced coffee. Try out different available flavors, e.g., mocha, vanilla, or caramel to name a few.
