Probably similar to that “bitterness” test that a lot of kids got to do in science class where you taste that little strip of paper. To some it’s nothing, to others it’s very bitter. Genetics has given some the extra “taste”, supposedly that might allow people to avoid eating poisonous things containing oxalates or glucosinates. Unfortunately it also means you probably dislike things lie IPA beers or other foods that have bitter compounds that don’t bother others.

Holy shit. IPAs make so much more sense now!
Huh that’s interesting…I hate beer, lager and coffee, all everyday adulting things…I wonder if I have this gene.
wait does cofee dosent taste sour to other pepole ?
It tastes really bitter to me. I don’t understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.
Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I’d be drinking that stuff non stop.

I dislike all coffee flavoured things I’ve ever tried, including ice cream and chocolates.

If it does it’s really bad coffee
that is the hipster new generation coffee
Some coffee does.
I have a high sensitivity to sour. It sucks. Apples are often too sour. So it’s not just ants, or bitterness.
