In other words, it tasted TERRIBLE. Too weak for coffee, too bitter for tea.

I see where you coming from. The other day I went over to Starbucks Café for an espresso with milk and they just gave me American Coffee in a little tiny cup with a sachet of milk. At that moment I got so disappointed that I said to them I would not pay for the coffee. If you do not have what I am asking you for, please tell me about it and I shall go somewhere else to get it. Please note people do not actually know what real coffeee is, so it is easy for them to make do with almost anything. If it looks like coffe it is got to be, ain't it?

As any politician 'honest' Abe was triangulating.
He did not want to alienate fans of either beverage

Actual quote from my last place of employment:
"I want a pony until I see the pony, then I don't want a pony anymore"
I develop software. That person drove me nuts. Same type argument I think.

I'd say he really didn't enjoy the taste of whichever beverage was served to him - so he wanted the other.

He didn't like what he was drinking, wasn't sure what it was, and wanted something else?
