I am personally not a big beer lover, but I do dig some beer with good meat. However, I am an avid espresso lover. As a kid I hated both, especially coffee.
Frankly speaking, I would expect someone who first drinks either of those drinks to not really like their taste. Somehow, I still can’t do without at least 4 shots of espresso a day.
Is it a social thing ? An awareness(caffeine) thing ?

I’d also add that coffee is addictive. It’s kind of how cigarettes smell terrible to non-smokers and OK to smokers. You get used to something plus you physically start feeling the desire/urge for the product. 4 espressos a day sounds excessive. I mean, if you can go a week without any coffee without any discomfort, then you have no problem. But if it was a challenge then you are officially an addict.
Beer.. I don’t know if I’d say that it tastes great to most people. It really doesn’t. But it’s a cheap alcohol so adults get used to the taste. I don’t know a lot of people who drink non alcoholic beer often because it tastes good. On top of that, most adults will drink beer only to complement their food. Beer alone isn’t that tasty at all.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is nothing special about coffee and beer. Kids don’t eat or drink a lot of things because they taste bad, like mayo or eggplant.
