because I dislike the taste, it has the same bitterness as coffee and I hate coffee.

Using it as a flavoring for jaded palates seems vile, but I guess if those palates require ten cups of espresso per day along with ridiculously overprepared food, they can have it.

It looks like just another cheap trick to keep people with more money than brains coming back.

Yuck.

ETA: the charcoal might do something for their breath after a night of overseasoned, garlicky offal, but I doubt it.
