I've learnt to love Coffee over a few months during exam season; at first it was mainly to stay up longer and the bitter taste was something I dealt with but over time I learnt to appreciate it (sort of like Dark Chocolate; which I also love). Honestly for me now a well made coffee in the morning is a godsend. 

Oh and something I read a while back, although I can't vouch for it myself if the reason you don't like coffee is the bitterness then using a technique called cold steeping is supposed to make less far less bitter. 

Although if your a die hard coffee hater its probably not worth the effort simply because it takes a while (12+ hours) to cold steep coffee properly so you'd probably do it overnight. However if you really want to drink coffee then there is a potential solution.
