Does this sound like you? Never fear we have the solution to your problem.
At Bearded Brewer, we know that while we love coffee it isn’t for everyone. There can be a range of different reasons that people can’t or don’t drink coffee and that’s okay. But going out for a coffee is such a big part of our culture in Australia it’s hard for non-coffee drinkers to not feel like they are missing out. To us, coffee is more than just a drink it’s about community and experience. So if you find yourself on the outer because you don’t drink coffee we have some solutions for you so that you can be part of the coffee experience.
Option 1: Mocha
“I don’t like the taste of coffee”
If you like the idea of coffee but don’t really like the taste then Mocha might be drink for you. A mocha is like a combination of coffee and hot chocolate. It is great for those with a sweet tooth as the chocolate taste masks but doesn’t completely hide the coffee taste.
Option 2: Dirty Chai
“I don’t like the taste of coffee”
This is the second option for those who still want to like coffee but aren’t really keen on the taste. A dirty chai not only makes you sound like a cool hipster but it also masks the taste of coffee with the sweet spices of the chai mixture.
Option 3: Decaf
“I can’t have caffeine”
I can hear you groaning through the screen as you read decaf but that is because you haven’t found the good stuff yet. You might be surprised to know that if you buy the right decaf you probably won’t notice that you are drinking it. The key is the method that is used to extract the caffeine from the beans. You need to look for Swiss water decaf, try this one we think it’s pretty great.
Option 4: Coldbrew
“I don’t like hot drinks”
If you are one of those people who don’t like any hot drinks then I have the perfect solution for you. You need to discover coldbrew! It will be life changing. This delicious drink has all the caffeine and taste of regular coffee but is made by slowly steeping the coffee over a long period of time instead of using hot water. Be warned this stuff is has a high caffeine content and without any of the bitterness of regular coffee it goes down very easily. You will be buzzing in no time!
Option 5: One shot coffee
“I don’t like strong coffee”
Did you know that when you order a large coffee you are actually getting 2-3 shots? If you prefer a more mild coffee taste ask your barista for a single shot only in your medium to large coffee which will give you a mild taste without missing out.
“I just don’t like coffee but don’t want a drink full of sugar”
If adding extra shots of vanilla to your coffee goes against your need to reduce your sugar intake then we have the perfect coffee for you. We have designed a special blend with you in mind. We have created a coffee that tastes of vanilla and shortbread without the sugar hit. The secret is that we have infused the green coffee beans with vanilla before they are roasted. The result is a delicious dessert like coffee without the added nasties. We think this is the perfect coffee for those who think they don’t like coffee but don’t take our word for it. Give it a go for yourself (click here) and let us know if we have convinced you.
