Ditto. Mine was most noticeable with the taste coffee. I probably cleaned/rinsed the coffee machine three or four times in an effort to improve what was otherwise something I couldn't control.

After about a week of playing Dr. Google finally discovered pine mouth and realizing the home made pesto from last week had pine nuts in it.



Coffee frequently reveals anosmia/parosmia/the end of either. Doesn't surprise me that it would have a similar interaction with pinemouth. It's a strong flavor, early in the day, every day. Since I learned anosmia is common with covid I've paid extra attention to how my morning caffeine tastes.


Oh this is interesting -- since having Covid in January, coffee is one of the things that still smells the most off to me.


Some people say fluvoxamine will fix that. (I have no personal experience.) It is at least safe to try. Please report results, if you do.

Some people could be craving coffee because of iron deficiency yet coffee contains natural compounds called tannins that can prevent your body from absorbing iron.
