Having to do without coffee is crazy. But as I wish to participate I would sacrifice tasting it.
The explanation is simple, the aroma of coffee makes my imagination fly, it is irreplaceable, I love when they are grinding the beans, I remain as a statue during the process, just feeling the essence.
I would propose a solution in the following way... I smell the coffee grind while tasting a similar hot drink, the aroma would make me imagine drinking the most exquisite coffee, I would savor it and enjoy it as usual.
