So time to get boo’ing again an audio boo on should you add milk and sugar to your coffee?
I think this covers my thoughts but if I missed anything comments below please
Love audioboo as a way of blogging, I don’t always add them to the main blog, so check the right hand side bar of the blog, but this one I felt was worthy
I would add that if your trying to wean yourself off of milk and/or sugar then it might take 3-4 cups before you stop noticing what your missing. At least that was my experience.
Also, let it cool down a bit.
I was astonished last year when I stopped (for the most part) drinking store bought coffee and started ordering my coffee straight from a roaster. I had never even known coffee could be so delicious or that I could not need cream and sugar. I used to drink coffee just for that extra jolt early in the morning, but now I am a coffee lover, always searching for the new flavors my palate has never imagined.
I agree both of the guys above, though. It can be a bit scary to change what you are used to, but you may never know what you are missing if you don’t give it a try without all that cream and sugar. I absolutely love how much lighter my coffee feels in my mouth without all the heavy cream and sweetness I used to use.
I have also noticed that I can almost never drink a low quality or store bought coffee without cream and sugar or at least sugar. They are too bitter, as if they are biting back.
There’s a Russian saying, “To salt without tasting”, which Steve has come up with here.
They mean both literally, when someone has cooked you a meal, and figuratively – to shun someone’s advice, even when they probably know more about the subject. It’s considered really rude there!
I think I am purist regarding both coffee and tea. If either is of high quality, then for me neither needs milk/sugar, or sweetner at all.
I enjoy great coffee and find that the use of milk and sugar can mask the wonderful complex flavors that abound in my cup;)
