Follow up to the "make" thread I started, based on Swarden's recent comment there (Swarden is cream and sugar. His coffee, I mean, not Swarden himself. As far as I know, anyway. I'll shut up now.) I take heavy cream and that's it.
A lot of hot milk & a strong shot of caffeine. When the milk is steamed you get a cappucino. In France they call it "cafe au lait", in Spain it's "cafe con lecce" and in Holland "koffie verkeerd" which means "coffee wrong". Never understood that last one I must admit. Strange bunch those Dutch
black , BLACKER, BLACKEST Coffee is supposed to be hot and BLACK. Not cold and creamy. Put flour in a bowl. It's flour. Add milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, mix it up, and what do you have? You call it batter! Put coffee in a cup. It's coffee. Add milk, creamer, sugar, flavoring, mix it up, and what do you have? I have no idea - BUT DON'T CALL IT COFFEE! That being said, I drink coffee.
Howdy! I usually like my coffee black. However, if I go out for dinner, I sometimes add cream to black coffee. Some dark roasts I may add a bit of cream and sugar, but most of the time just straight up black with no additives. I do not like flavored coffees (hazelnut, etc.). Always, Gene
Just creamer. I like black coffee, but it makes my dental veneers feel "rubbery" so I don't drink it much.
I prefer cafe au lait. Probably as a result of growing up close to New Orleans. I get a kick out of someone telling me coffee should only be taken black.
I do hope you know I had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek when I said coffee must only be had black. Black is how I enjoy mine. Please, it's your coffee. Enjoy it your way.
What surprises me is that someone, somewhere, hasn't come up with the angle of caffienated shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream, cologne, etc. I admit, though, I'd be very tempted by shaving cream that smells just like fresh roasted coffee.
