A new study found that coffee drinkers are actually more sensitive to the bitter taste of caffeine.
Coffee is a complex beverage – and it’s experienced differently by everyone.
Your appreciation (or not) of coffee is largely driven by genetics, which control a host of factors raging from your caffeine tolerance to sensory perception.
A new study from Northwestern University, recently published in Scientific Reports, found that coffee lovers aren’t less sensitive to the bitter taste of coffee – instead, the opposite is true.
This suggests an interesting psychological phenomenon behind our love of coffee.
