For years I only drank coffee with half and half or espresso with milk foam (ie. cappuccino or macchiato). My brother who works in the coffee business always gave me a hard time about it. I decided to try forgoing the dairy, and it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. You do realize how many nuances of the flavor you were missing before.

otm. i feel like sugar and milk are the equivalent of mustard on steak. like it's not bad but if your coffee's good and you've made it fresh why cover up the taste?

This is why I like the macchiato - a tiny dab of foam as an emollient to give a different flavour structure, and the rest of the coffee to express its native flavours. Best of both. The latte, flat white, cappuccino et al. can go to hell. Likewise sugar can alter the flavour balance, something to do with how we perceive taste, but I very rarely use it except to sometimes pack brown sugar in with the ground coffee when firing up the Gaggia, you get a dark caramel thing going on and it changes what flavours come out of the grounds, recommend if you have a home espresso thing.

i love dairy but only rarely in my coffee

marcos, Wednesday, 24 May 2017 14:07 (nine years ago)

I like almond milk fine! It's less creamy than dairy and doesn't add that silky mouth-feel but I actually think the nutty flavor is a better complement to the coffee taste.

Been ordering and drinking various beans from Sump almost exclusively for like 2 years now. Current bag is the Burundi, which came with this great 900-word background/WARNING. Has what they call "The Potato Defect." Which is a great name. Affects beans from several East African areas. If you get one of the affected beans in your grind, your cup tastes strongly of raw potato! You gotta dump it and try again.

the fools the fools dont they know they could add fifty per cent by labelling it a feature and sending it to us

Potato Defect? It's Potato Perfect.

"the work coffee pot station " for some reason I read this as "I work in a coffee pot station"

I like CAfe Bustelo

i n f i n i t y (∞), Wednesday, 24 May 2017 15:54 (nine years ago)

I put milk in my coffee b/c I usually want muted flavors, I'll drink it black if I'm getting a single origin pourover someplace and feel like putting up with all the fruit flavors I don't actually care for.

softie (silby), Wednesday, 24 May 2017 16:01 (nine years ago)

The three weeks I spent without milk in my coffee were the worst three weeks of my life

calstars, Wednesday, 24 May 2017 16:04 (nine years ago)

People around me, believe me, my supporters love me and those who love me unconditionally
Rules and habits and I understand the consequences of the violation

Absolutely everything is fine. I have hope, faith and trust
Could I
Show my thoughts and feelings and talk about things that frighten me or trouble me
Find ways to solve my problem
Manage your mood and behavior so you do nothing wrong or dangerous
Find someone who asks for help when I need them

Violet Jax (Violet Jynx), Thursday, 25 May 2017 15:54 (nine years ago)

modern cof--good stuff

a (waterface), Thursday, 25 May 2017 15:56 (nine years ago)
