What do you put in your coffee?

[Reginald Fairfield]

I've been having an instant coffee just black in the morning, maybe a little cinnamon instead of sugar. I've been thinking about what else to try in it.

The coffee creamers seem to be very processed, and I've been told to cut back on that kind of thing. There are many different kinds of milk. Of course I can't have normal milk. I have tried Silk made with soy. That doesn't smell good for very long, even if it is within date. I'm aware of oat milk, almond milk, and coconut milk, and that last one is apparently different from coconut water somehow. What do you prefer?

Apparently some people put butter in their coffee. I hadn't considered that.

Its not what I put into coffee, its what coffee puts into me.

In all seriousness though, it depends on the quality of coffee. Good quality coffee is good black. Bad quality coffee gets the milk.

I wish I enjoyed coffee it always smells so good I'm a tea drinker, and I drink my tea black or occasionally with a bit of sugar. It's also really weird because I enjoy coffee flavoured things, even chocolate covered coffee beans, but coffee itself has a burnt taste that coffee flavoured foods don't have. Masking it in syrups and milk does not make the burnt taste go away. My bf drinks coffee though and he puts milk and sugar in it, never that pre-made creamer stuff

My dad will put brown sugar sometimes
Or he will use a little milk
Or honey


I'm not a coffee drinker

I heard cashew or hazelnut milk is good but I haven't tried it myself. I know someone who adds a little bit of datte puree .

I don't drink coffee a lot and when I do, I'm not that picky about how it tastes.

When I'm having coffee at home, I just put in milk, no sugar. I don't use creamer.

When I'm having coffee from a garage I take milk and caramel syrup if there's any, vanilla if there's not, and just regular when those syrups aren't in.

I've tried a few milk-alternatives out of curiosity, and my favourite was the coconut milk. The difference between coconut milk and coconut water is that the milk is made from the "meat" of the coconut as well as the water. This does still taste very coconut-y in coffee though, so if you're not into that I wouldn't recommend it

I've also tried almond, hazelnut, and oat. They were nice enough to be fair. I know a friend of mine whose favourite is hazelnut milk for coffee, but they don't get it often because it's typically more expensive here

Cinnamon or chocolate powder is nice sprinkled on top, as is a bit of nutmeg, but I'd only really have those around Christmas personally. I know some people who tried those sugar-alternatives, but most them stopped using them after a while. Stevia, iirc, but it's kinda pricey in comparison to sugar and isn't that great imo

Nothing. I'm not a sweet tooth and I'm not a huge fan of milk (prefer non-dairy but I don't really drink milk in general. I just didn't grow up drinking it). I also really love the coffee/bitter taste so I feel like adding milk will dilute it.
