Sounds just like me. I can't stand the taste of coffee, but I get plenty of caffeine via diet soda. What's odd is that I love the smell of coffee, but despise the taste.

Coffee is an acquired taste but once you acquire it, you can't get enough of it. I also love coffee in the form of coffee ice cream, Kahlua, etc..

Yeah, in the "oddity" department, I don't like coffee ice cream either, but I do like Kahlua (I've even made my own sugar-free Kahlua).

I have loved Cuban style coffee ever since I got my first taste of it when I lived in FL. Now my cardiologist won't let me have caffeine, and no one sells decaf Cuban roast coffee in this area, or any Cuban roast for that matter. Now I have to make do with Starbucks decaf Verona roast or Millstone decaf French roast from Publix.

I would love to spend another lazy morning in the little Cuban bake shop I used to frequent in the Ybor City section of Tampa, sipping that delicious Cuban coffee that you can't buy in a store and washing down about a half dozen warm and gooey guava or key lime pastelitos (Cuban style turnovers). In that setting I could almost forget that Relosi and Reid are now in charge of Congress.

If you're located in Dade-Broward area PJ you may understand what I mean when I talk about Cuban coffee and bakery goods. I have also enjoyed a fabulous Cuban pork and rice dish in a Cuban owned restaurant on SW 8th St in Miami, and I'm sure there are many good Cuban bakeries in that area as well.
