I tried coffee for the first time today.

If you're trying it again, I'd get it out somewhere (please not Starbucks). And try one with some sugar. Or just get a caramel/vanilla/hazelnut latte or something in that family. Good stuff.

Seriously what is the appeal? That stuff tastes like arse.

You have my attention

It was a figure of speech

Me and my friends say that a lot. Whenever we try to described a bad taste all smell, we will say it's like arse. I think it's more suited for British kind of humour.

If you wanna start really easy on coffee go for a falvored frappuccino or something. Iced and sugary, then go for a latte, and then coffee with sugar and milk, and then coffee with milk. (of course only if you want to like coffee) UTK had it right though.

Definitely a bit of an acquired taste, some people like the hint of coffee in things (my mother) and some people just want more coffee flavor in the end.

I know I definitely love the smell off coffee, I can drink it but I prefer it black, too much sugar messes up my system. I almost have a sugar crash so it has the opposite effect. Although I used to drink pop like a fiend so maybe caffeine just doesn't have much on me these days.
