Criticizing someone for their subjective preference in drinks is incredibly weird.

Why? Coffee tastes good. What's wrong with drinking something that you like the taste of, or just a warm drink in general?

There is nothing objectively wrong with drinking something you like the taste of, however, when it is coffee specifically, I believe, the utility of it is the caffeine it contains; that, and the culture around coffee-drinking makes me feel the way I described. Notice the "in my humble opinion" at the end of my message.

If the utility of it was the caffeine, what would the audience for decaf be? It should be plain that the other aspects are also important.

"other aspects" a.k.a. status signalling. Cool kids drink coffee.

Then why identify with it at all? You would be happier taking caffiene pills or drinking an Arnold Palmer, it sounds like.

Exactly — I am taking caffeine pills, and when I confessed this to a normie coffee drinker, I was called an addict, even though not only is the dose mere 100 grams, half of that of a Tim Hortons medium black, the pills also have L-Theanine in them, which is supposed to reduce jitteriness or something.

If you don’t like the taste, you shouldn’t drink it, imo. So yes, one enjoys coffee exactly for the flavour.

Drinking coffee for caffeine is pathetic, in my humble opinion.
