I drink 50% regular water, 50% herbal teas. Never drank sodas, if you’re not used to them they taste far too sweet. I used to drink a lot of coffee, but I have quit caffeine completely, with 1 exception. I drink 1 cup of coffee the day after my night shifts, because this helps me feel ok that day. If you don’t drink coffee regularly you notice two things when you do: 1. it’s very very bitter. 2. the effect of caffeine is really quite strong. I feel like I’m on drugs that day. After quitting coffee I got a little bit bored with just water, I missed drinking something warm, so I started with herbal teas. I now have a large collection of herbs and I started to appreciate all these different tastes.

Well made coffee should not be bitter
Coffee is bitter. There’s shit coffee that’s pretty much only bitter and nothing else, but any coffee will have bitterness.
Though I agree that “very very bitter” sounds like bad coffee.
If you don’t drink bitter things regularly, then normal coffee tastes very bitter, especially if you are more sensitive to bitter taste.
Exactly, that was the point. The same coffee didn’t taste bitter to me before, but after not drinking coffee for a month or so it did.
About a gallon and a half of low-alcoholic beer for me every day for the past some thirty years. Keeps me healthy, virile, and my teeth clean.
