Why does the first cup of coffee taste better than the second?

It’s the same reason as why the first few bites of something decadent like a bowl of ice cream or a slice of cake are better than when you’re halfway through or almost done. Your taste buds get used to the flavor.

Same as first sip of beer, first bite of pizza.... it's the law of diminishing returns.
