Considering most everyone I’ve ever met drowns their coffee in HFCS “flavored creamer”, I doubt many people know what a good cup of coffee tastes like. Even those so-called gourmet shops can’t do a decent cup of coffee. 🤮
It is a very regional thing. Creamer might just be popular where you are. In Hong Kong, for example, it’s not uncommon to mix your coffee with white tea.
But good is relative, since it’s a matter of personal taste. Some people like the taste of powdered instant coffee, others may not.

Well, i do think there’s a level of intelligence involved so that you can recognize something is good or bad despite your personal preferences. Like i can taste a high quality roast coffee with strong floral notes, and I just don’t like floral notes on my coffee it doesn’t sit right on my tongue, but i can still appreciate it’s a very high quality coffee and recommend it to my friend who loves those kinds of coffee.
At the same time, i have a weakness for mcdonalds coffee black, it’s not good, it’s bad, but for some reason i drink it it reminds me of childhood and i feel good.
And i dont think that’s a lot to ask of human intelligence, like you dont even need 100 IQ to just understand the concept that there are high quality and low quality coffees, but any individual can prefer the taste of any of them.

plenty people do, plenty of people dont
Indeed. I’ve been kind of ruined by the coffee culture where I’m at. I will judge a town/city/village based on their espresso, and judge them hard. 😆
Like SoCal. What the hell SoCal?
You should totally try Turkish espresso /s
I have. 🙂 It’s different. Not bad.
Hence why I led with “most everyone I’ve met”.
