I stopped adding sugar to my coffee at work. Took some getting used to, but it's less hassle overall, and less sugar intake.
I did the same but with milk. My job at the time supplied coffee but not milk, the fridge was full of 1 pint bottles with names written on. There was never enough space. People got territorial over their 5sq inches of fridge. There was a milk club where they pooled together to buy milk for their group.
I couldn't face dealing with that so opted out and drank it black. That was 15 years ago.
Some time later that employer realised they could solve a great many staff disputes for the low price of 20 pints of milk a week and started supplying it. No idea why it took so long.
imo sugar makes the bitter in coffee, overwhelming. I prefer it black or with a little oat milk. Oat milk has a pleasant mild sweetness that makes coffee just the right balance
my wife likes the sweater called Ez-Sweets and it's ok but I only ever have a drop or two in tea
A little tiny pinch of salt in coffee can take the edge off the bitterness. It surprisingly doesn't make it taste salty, just less bitter.
I have a weird sensitivity to bitterness, so for me, sugar removes the bitterness.
do you cream it?
if you just sugar it, there's a threshold between way too bitter and just sweet enough. I don't get it right so I just have something sweet to eat while enjoying the coffee
No, I never did cream.
