I have never tasted coffee. Really. No, really! I did have coffee cake once though. I even married a wife who says the same thing. I was thinking I would try it when I turned 30, but am looking toward 35 now. I understand there is a value in social drinking. I might give it a whack in a while.
Despite my severity, I can appreciate parts of it. Here are some neat coffee art photos.

Never tasted coffee. … I dinna ken how this is possible, especially at this time of year. Oh well, it leaves more for me. And if there is less demand, it also keeps the price a little lower. So I thank you for your abstinence.
Cool pics. If I had a picture of an empty coffee mug, I would include my own version of coffee art.
You’re missing out. That’s all I can say. Here you want to enjoy the fullness of the earth and you haven’t even tried coffee. Shame.
Ouch, Dana. Those words are pointed. Those words put me to the “brim.” I am willing to commit to “planning on trying it” sometime this year. My words are being used against me.
I did tell Sam Gage that I would let him walk me through my first drink. Maybe he should pay, too.
You know if I like it, I’m going to need a big fat grinder/maker combo for Christmas…actually I was looking at those today on Amazon…because the whole thing intrigues me. I’m just happy to see God glorified through orange juice. Coffee is a much bigger world.
If you are going to jump in, go for the real stuff: get a good grinder and a French Press. Properly brewed/steeped coffee is so much better than anything Mr. Coffee or Black n Decker can do. But the real secret is to get the right beans. The best value is Don Pablo from Costco. Excellent coffee and at least 1/2 the price of the high priced stuff.
Just don’t give up if you aren’t impressed with your first sip. There are as many ways of preparing coffee as there are stars in the sky. You’ll have to figure out the whole cream/sugar ratio thing on your own, but give it time, dear brother.
