Small percentage of people taste cilantro/coriander as soapy.
from Google: Coriander's flavour profile is made up of several different chemicals (most of them aldehydes), some of which have a distinctive 'soapy' flavour. It's thought that people with the 'soapy' OR6A2 receptor gene variant can detect these soapy chemicals, while those without that particular gene variant cannot.
I am one of them, by now I can manage.
after living the coffee drinker life (exclusively Latte & Americano, no sweetener) throughout my working life I now feel like I dislike coffee. Because to be honest, I cannot recall any moment where I drink it & say "Good drink". It's hardly pleasurable. No joy sparked for me. No matter how long I swish swash in my mouth for my tastebuds to feel. I felt the stimulant aftereffect, and receive the aroma of brewed coffee better. But not the case with the taste.
Because I saw videos & also have many friends who drank Americano/espresso describing it as delicious.
'Delicious' to me reserved to the likes of Lasagna or Shepherds Pie, or Mee Kari or Laksa or Beef Burgers.
I must be lacking the genes for the delicious coffee receptors.
I'm not talking about the many types of coffee based drinks which is frankly liquid desserts.
