I suspect the flu can damage (hopefully, only temporarily) the tissues
in the nose, throat and sinuses, changing, or at least affecting the
taste/smell of things. Age does it as well. After a dose of the flu
decades ago left me with sinus problems that lingered for many months,
I vowed to try to avoid this disease where possible (flu shot every
year). I hope you regain your coffee addiction. Cheers

I had the flu a month ago, and I have totally lost my taste for coffee!?!
and I am a 14 year veteran of double shots from my machine every morning.
I
am not sure what is happening to me. Black tea is my poison now.
