i can't taste cardamom. when i taste freshly ground cardamom it's like eting a pinch of sand.

maybe you have something like that going on with coffee.

i'll say i had no interest in coffee until i tried it in my early 30's and really enjoyed it, though i found the caffine too strong. now i drink it every day (smaller cups though.) point being, i wasn't made to like coffee at a young age, and i've liked it ever since i started drinking it.
