Why Bitterness Feels Good
Bitter coffee has certain chemicals in it that tell the brain something exciting is happening. These chemicals work with the brain's happy messengers to create a feeling of reward and satisfaction. That’s why some people look forward to their morning cup of bitter coffee.
Examples
- A child might love eating dark chocolate because it's bitter, just like some people enjoy bitter coffee.
- Someone who drinks black coffee every morning feels happy because of the bitterness.
- When you drink a strong cup of coffee, your brain gives you a little reward.
