It is basically flavorless, but I usually hate coffee because it tastes bitter to me and this doesn't taste bitter. I doubt I will finish the container.

Instant coffee is bland and flavorless by default.

instant coffee is an abomination

What kind of regular coffee have you had? I didn't start liking it until my mid 20s and didn't start drinking it almost daily until like 30. Heck I had 3 cups at IHOP this morning.
Some it just acrid, bitter tasting garbage like cheap off brands, Maxwell House and that Pike's Place at Starbucks imho. But if you use the right amount and have a good coffee to start, then even a dark roast comes out without the bitter taste. A Starbucks blonde roast and the Anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas dark blends. Omg those are the best. But even with those if you use to many grounds it will come out bitter. You have to find the right balance and it takes a while.

bitter coffee = it wasn't brewed correctly.

you don't like coffee because you've had bad coffee bruh.

I didn't start drinking coffee regularly until I was 26 or 27.
Every time before that I thought I had to add in a bunch of sugar to offset the bitterness, but the first time I tried without it was divine. Now I only drink it black or with just a splash of cream.

same, minus the splash of cream bit at the end.

though sometimes i'll drop a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream in a mug of coffee as a dessert. yummmmm.


i also hated beer until my mid-20s.

It's really weird, I could have a donut in one hand and a coffee in the other and be fine. Transfer that sweetness to the coffee though, then ugh.

I've been drinking coffee since I was a kid almost. I've loved it since whenever the first time I tasted it was.

Coffee is my sole addiction and I'm never gonna quit it ^_^

Dude that's not coffee
Notice how they aren't allowed to call it coffee on the label. It's a "cafe-style beverage mix." Also notice that it can be used as a creamer. A creamer in what, you ask? Actual coffee.

Essentially what you did was buy Kool-aid to find out if you like orange juice

I find if you hate the bitterness of coffee then add some milk. Coffee with milk is for people who find black coffee acrid.

There is definitely bad coffee. Some have really great, rich flavors and others are just... Well, extremely bitter. Using freshly ground good quality beans is really the big thing, though I also recommend easing into the taste using a couple lumps of sugar and a healthy dose of cream. Something like Dunkin' Donuts coffee is fine with a lot of cream and sugar, but it's not good quality coffee.

At the very least, coffee isn't bitter in the same way cheap liquor is.

Yeah, that stuff is nowhere close to being coffee.
