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.

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