The smell of coffee. I don’t know what’s wrong with me (or alternatively the vast majority of people) but it smells as disgusting to me as a steaming pile of dog poop. I learned to ignore it to some extend but I still hate it in all its variations: The powder, freshly roasted beans, freshly brewed coffee, cold coffee, coffee breath, …
That must not have been an easy thing to do, and I feel for you knowing how omnipresent coffee is. Heck, I had my first coffee I was not 9 year-old. I remember it vividly, it was a large and thick cup (to my kid eyes at least) half filled with black coffee (not the tinted water many people erroneously call ‘coffee’), without milk but with sugar, way too many. I liked it, probably because of the too many sugar in it, and I never quit drinking coffee for 50 years or so, up until very recently and only because my doctor told me so.
As for the smell, obviously I would not compare it to poop like you did but I reckon there is one thing they may both remotely share, very remotely though, a kind of ‘earthy’ smell?

Did you switch to something or off caffeine altogether? Black tea is much nicer haha
Yep, I drink tea (I already was) and decaffeinated coffee. For the most part, I drink good old water.
Little squirts of pure vanilla are quite nice complement for tea, particularly earl gray
