Same, I'm afraid. I adore dark rich chocolate flavor, but I hate coffee (yes, the scent too), and adding even a little bit of espresso makes a chocolate dessert inedible for me. I often hear "you can't even taste it!" but it's usually about a dessert for which I very much can.

It definitely seems like a trick that works great for people who are less sensitive to the taste of coffee than I, though! And that seems to be most people.
