IMHO, if you have anything in your coffee besides coffee then what you're drinking isn't coffee. It's coffee with cream. Or coffee with sugar. Or coffee with - whatever. I just can't imagine putting anything in my coffee.

Having said that, I have to admit that when I first learned to drink coffee I could only tolerate it with double cream and double sugar. That was a good many years ago and people do tend to become smarter as they age. (I guess that makes me a genius - :p). So, now I just enjoy it black. Just for the sake of the flavor(s) of whatever bean I ground to make it.

I drink black coffee ONLY WHEN the coffee is good enough to drink it black.
since I am coffee / caffeine addict, and since I travel a lot, it is very difficult to get good coffees that i can drink it black.
so, in China, I often drink 3 in 1 Nescafe (much worse quality than what you get in USA). In Thailand, I drink hotel instant coffee (yes, hotel restaurant serves really bad instant coffee in a big pot) with A LOT OF SUGAR AND CREAM.

That is all depends where I am at.

Alex, I wish you success in your sales in east asia so that you don't have to drink Nescafe haha.

I drink my coffee black most days. Sometimes I'll mix up my routine and I'll get a cold-brew with some cashew milk (If i plan to be working outside and want a cold beverage) or a flat white. Always from local roaster. When I started drinking coffee it was 1820 (brand) with sugar and milk. When people started talking to me about their favorite coffee I decided that additives just get in the way of observation so that is why I mostly drink black coffee. Sometimes the experience is horrible and most of the time it is okay but it is all worth it to me when I have that amazing cup.

I take black coffee once in a blue moon. Coffee should be good if you have to consume it black otherwise I prefer coffee with cream and two teaspoon of sugar.

Rose..I was on the same page as you. I was trying to figure out what race had to do with coffee. My bad. I drink coffee black. If I add anything its scotch. I learned years ago to not turn my nose up at people who add things to their coffee. I would do tastings at work. I would be super stoked on a new offering and would have everyone come taste it. They would sip it and have funny look on their face and say...uh yeah tasty. I started to realize they were nervous to add cream or sugar. I told them to drink it how they like it...They would add their cream or sugar and then that smile would appear.

I never add any sugar into my coffee. I drink only espresso, latte and black coffee. If the coffee is not good alone, i prefer to pass and wait for a better cup. I try to avoid added sugar as much as i can in everything i drink/eat.
