Right, but I legitimately love the taste of coffee now. Am I wrong? I know I didn't like it as a kid, but does that mean I was correct to not like it then or correct to like it now?

I don't know, but my instinct is that being able to enjoy the flavor of coffee is a real benefit. For instance, I can taste the nuance of coffee flavor in tiramisu. Without gaining an appreciation for coffee flavor, many foods that use that flavor would just taste bad.
