The point is that when you taste beer or coffee, you think it tastes disgusting because it tastes ultra bitter to you, right?

When you never taste any bitter, because everything you eat and drink has at least 20g of sugar, you are super sensitive to it.

I don't taste any bitter in coffee, but do i taste nothing? No, because behind the bitter, there's a world of taste there. It's just being masked by the extreme bitter you taste, because you are super sensitive to bitter.

I used to eat a lot of sugar and still liked coffee. I prefer mine plain. I'm in my 20's now though so I'm too old and I've since limited my intake of both sugar and caffeine.
My first taste of beer didn't seem bitter to me at all either. Still hated it.
