Hey, coffee friends!
Twenty years ago, I would've chosen coffee that is too sweet over coffee that is too bitter. Back then, sweet coffee was OK for me, but not anymore. Bitterness has grown on me, hehe. I sometimes like a sweet treat to go with my black coffee; I think this beats the bitterness a little, working like a smile on a bad day.
When coffee is too bitter, I might sip it faster and finish it while it's still hot. In my hometown, it's common that people add some milk when coffee is too bitter...
Thank you so much 😌
We have different preferences when it comes to our coffee drinks. It's good that you love the bitter and pure taste of coffee seeds. A lot of people loves it too! Cheers 🍻
I used to like sweet coffee, though never too sweet. At some point when I was in my twenties, I was drinking too many shots of coffee during the day; the sugar in them was a problem, so I quit it. I've been drinking my coffee without any sugar ever since, and now I can hardly tolerate sweet coffee. C'est la vie! Hehe.
😁 I laughed a lot reading your comment, and I think you're going to laugh reading mine 😃.
Happy afternoon 😗
Hey, @yessi08 ☕ Here, sugar for your bitter coffee 🙈 Never too old for that 🙊
🤫🤫🤫
🫣😁 of course not, you're never too old 😁.
Greetings 🙏
To the evidence I refer, hahaha...😄☕️😋
🤣🤣🤣 I want
🤫🤣🤣🤣
Eliminating or reduce sugar from our diet is beneficial for our body. Personally, I like to add just a pinch of sugar while I get my palate used to the bitterness of coffee.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this Saturday.☕
I still add sugar to a lot of things. I'm trying to fix that gradually, but the hardest part about cutting down on sugar is saying no to sweet pastries 😉
Once you get used to it, you won't be able to stop; then you'll be like me, you won't understand how other people kill coffee with sugar ha, ha, ha, ha.
Regards, @rinconpoetico7
I hope I can get used to it someday, I know it's the best thing for my body, also because of my age, but I love sweets,😋 hahaha.
ha, ha, ha, ha... sometimes we can't get around to those big little pleasures😆😁😄
Hahahahaha, that's right my dear friend @sandracabrera 😃.
😉😅😅😅😅😅
It is very crucial how “bitter” is the bitter coffee. If it’s unpleasant bitter, or it has some balancing bitterness. First has to be corrected while the second can be perfectly fine 😁
Milk definitely gives balance to the bitterness for its natural sweetness and the fats inside. That’s why if someone adds milk to the coffee it seems like he tries to fix it. 🤷🏻
Well yes, I don't usually drink it very sweet either, but not bitter either, I always add a little bit of sugar, I guess the bitterness hasn't taken over me completely yet 🤣.
The charm of bitterness is underrated 😌
I remember when I had my coffee sweet; I really loved it,but now I can hardly tolerate it. Things change my friend 👵🏻 😂
Your photos are beautiful. Everything looks divine. A good choice: the bitterness of the coffee over the sweetness.
If it's only those two options, definitely one too sweet 😜, I can't stand bitter, and, I always jokingly say that, I haven't reached the age of bitter ☕ coffee ☕, alluding to what I'm still young 😁.
Happy afternoon 😙
It is very difficult to give up something that has been with us since we were born. The palate gets used to certain sweet foods, but little by little we can start to form new habits.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
That's right friend, I think maybe I should try something new 😃.
Greetings 🙏
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
It is true. To venture into new habits you would have to venture into trying new things. I am not much into that, into new things. I quickly got used to not wanting to change the habits I already have.
Eliminating sugar from coffee was quite a challenge...
Regards, @rinconpoetico7
Oh, so not old enough for bitter coffee 😏
😂🤣
I get your point, but let me tell you that my sister thirteen years older than me started reducing the sugar in her coffee barely a year ago 😏
😁 I understand, it's like gray hair, it has nothing to do with age 😁 it's just posturing, or my excuse to take candy 😁.
Happy night
Happy afternoon 😙
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...I reached the age of bitter a few years ago...when I drank sweet coffee I couldn't understand why others didn't put sugar in it...now I understand them.
Greetings, @yessi08
🫣😁 well, I still don't understand, maybe when I risk tasting it bitter, then I will understand 🫣.
Happy night 🙏
Likewise to you. Good evening,@yessi08
I am not so young, but I have never liked bitter coffee, I prefer it dulce☺️☕, of course not so sweet🤭🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
😁🫣 of course I also like it not so sweet but, as there were only two options 🫣 I prefer very sweet!
Of course, I understood you! 😃
Well, enjoy it, I don't dislike sugar in my coffee either, but just a little, not so sweet.
Hello coffee friends. Once again I join this social space...
If I had to choose, it would definitely be bitter. In fact, when I stopped using sugar in coffee, more than three years ago, I felt that the bitter taste did not displease me as I heard others who had eliminated sugar comment.
In fact, that bitter taste that I can still feel today is what I like about coffee, because it gives it a presence on the palate that is undoubtedly very authentic.
Definitely, bitter
The palate gets used to what we teach it to eat and drink, we program our minds through the stages of life, so that things that we did not like before, at another time we got a taste for them.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this sunday☕
That is very well noted. Thats the way! 🎈
Balanced bitterness is always preferred in the coffee and everywhere in general. It gives some sort of complexity to the drink. When it is too much, then it is not okay.
Yeah, @mdosev . I agree. Balance and performance
😀☕☕☕☕
I know several people who also drink it bitter, my husband is one of them. I still haven't adapted to drinking it bitter at all, although I agree with you that the sugar masks the taste.
Hi @jordy0827 happy lines.
You have to give yourself time for changes...and also for, after making them, to say "I don't want this." It's the right of coffee connoisseurs.
Jaja yes, so true.
😉
I did have a hard time trying to adapt to plain coffee for the first couple of weeks, and then one day, I started feeling the natural sweetness of coffee along with other notes I had never felt before. Then I knew I was never going back to adding sugar 😌
The natural sweetness is more than enough!
👍
Coffee lovers had its different perspective when it comes to drinking coffee. I admire those who loves to drink the bitter taste compared to sweet ones. Awesome my friend. 😊
That's right. Every person has a different perspective.
Everyone who likes coffee puts their personal touch on it.
Regards, @selflessgem
Yes dear friend. I agree. 😊
Agree, that is correct approach and more authentic way to enjoy coffee. I know about myself I am doing it wrong xD But I can say that I stopped adding sugar to my tea 15 years ago, and enjoy tea in most correct way! ☘️
Excellent... I am not much of a tea drinker; however, I also enjoy it when I do. Herbal infusions are more common, also without sugar.
Happy Monday, @qwerrie
Grazie! Wish you a good start of the week. ☘️
It is excellent. You join the team of those who prefer a bitter coffee.
☕️
Exactly. I prefer it.
☕☕☕☕
Not too sweet, not too bitter. If “sweet” refers to adding sugar, then I’m strongly against. The coffee should be very wrong and taste awful… that’s when sugar is needed, or milk. Milk gives a very sweet note, especially when added to warm coffee.
On the other hand, too bitternis not okay too. I have to say that any kind of bitterness in my cup are kind of unpleasant to me. The best and most expenssive coffees, like limited, micro lot Geisha coffees are perfectly balanced and give you sweet vibe and floral taste, without any bitterness. Bitterness often comes with dark roasting, which is also not welcome by me.
So please, I would like a balanced coffee, not very bitter, but still naturally sweet.
Thanks!
Well there I agree with you, I don't like it bitter either, although where I live it's usually a strong roast, so people usually sweeten it, usually with sugar 🤣.
I agree. I could not tolerate bitter taste too! 😊
You nailed it! best comment in this topic I noticed yet, and I'd say I share this opinion.
Tho the prompt/question was rather different 😜 its not about if you prefer it sweet or without sugar. To me (thats how I understood it) It is about how far you will dare to go. Will you go after adding TOO MUCH sugar is extremum; or brewing VERY STRONG BITTER coffee (especially dark roasted) without mildening it with slightest amounts of milk or sugar?.. that is the question. Which polus of extremism is up to you, figurally saying 🙃 'Balanced' midpoint is simply out of the question here, hehe.
...That is the question...
I'm picturing you having coffee like they often serve it in my hometown: both bitter and sweet 😂🤣 I don't like either, but if you make me choose, I choose bitter; I can't stand sugar in my coffee anymore, let alone too much sugar.
For bitter coffee, add a pinch of salt. But you know that already.
BTW, I love your cup!
There is always the slightest touch of bitterness in coffee but the balance you propose is very good.
I love your cup ☕️
Hi coffee friends, completely agree with my friend @yessi08 , as they are only those two options, I also prefer it too sweet than bitter, I have many years drinking coffee, there are people who claim that with age already one begins to take it with less sugar, I already turned 60 years old and still have not been able to achieve it, I love coffee not so strong and sweet!😄☕️😋
😁🫣 well, I still have about 23 to go before I'm 60, so, I think I'll keep drinking coffee ☕ sweet a good while 🫣.
Cheers
May you continue to enjoy your sweet coffee always. I like to sweeten it too, and I don't have a problem with sugar, but I don't usually put a lot in my coffee either, just a little bit.
There is a saying that says if life is bitter add a little bit of sweet, haha. You reminded me of an aunt who loves coffee with a lot of sweetness. Everyone has their own tastes and way of enjoying coffee.😋
I leave you a cup of coffee.☕
No one is forced to drink coffee one way or another, so if you cannot skip adding sugar, it is totally fine. There’s not a definition for the perfect taste because it doesn’t exist. For one it would be too sweet, for others too bitter. Sometimes people will seek flavor somewhere in between. And everybody would have his perfect taste.
I don't like coffee bitter but I don't like it sweet either, balanced 😄. My taste in coffee has been changing, I remember when I was younger I liked it sweet, but then my taste has changed, and now I can't stand a coffee with too much sugar. I owe that change to my husband, who drinks his coffee without sugar, and as he is the one who prepares the coffee in the mornings, he usually puts little sugar in mine, and now I like to drink it with less sugar than before, just enough so that the bitterness of the coffee does not stand out, as here we usually drink it quite strong ☕.
Now I'm going to read the rest of the comments, I'm going to love getting to know the tastes of others.
A coffee with a lot of sugar is unpleasant and harmful to the body; drinking coffee with a little bit of sugar is the best.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Thank you very much ☕
Strong coffee, Cuban strong coffee. I love it. Guayoyo is the most popular over here, but it's a little bitter anyway because it's usually a dark roast. Even though I've made my mind when it comes to coffee, I always find it amusing when I try coffee that others consider delicious, even if I hate the taste.
Here in Cuba there is a lot of dark roast coffee, although I confess that I don't like it that strong, I always put less powder in the pot than I should so that it is a little bit lighter.
It's great. We share the same tastes in coffee.
If there was a poll on what kind of coffee you like, the winner would be: coffee ☕️ without sugar.
Jaja yeah, it would be a good idea to make a poll, but we can already tell from the comments here 😄.
Excellent Sunday conversation coffee lovers.
Today we have a bittersweet question to answer. To be honest, since I was very young I was taught to drink coffee with sugar, it is a lifelong habit that is difficult to get rid of from one day to the next. What I have tried to do is to train my palate, lowering the amount of sugar in coffee, to get used to the bitterness of coffee. Let's say I'm in that new mental self-programming. Haha.
I want to be able to enjoy a bitter coffee and enjoy those flavors that the sweet one covers, besides giving up sugar is beneficial for the body since we avoid serious diseases such as diabetes and others.🍯
That is my contribution to the question of the conversation, I hope to continue reading you and know your preferences.
I wish you a week full of success and lots of coffee ☕.
Now, as I read your comment I remember that my process of excluding sugar from coffee was similar to yours. I started to gradually decrease the sugar addition until I reached a sugar negative cup of coffee. 😁
Maybe thats sort of a common evolution?
(You ... currently... are... at this point X ... ))))))
I know many people who have reduced their intake of sugar gradually; it seems the easiest way to go. I, however, did it all of a sudden; I was terrified when I saw my fasting blood glucose was nearly 100 as it'd always been under 75. I realized it was the little sugar in the 8-10 shots of coffee I had in a day while in office hours. I quit it at once. Now I wish I could quit sugar in everything else, but I'm weak! 🙊🙈
I also grew up in an environment where it is a religion to put sugar in coffee, but little by little, as you get older, you decrease the sugar in your coffee and you easily get sick of the kind of coffee you normally grew up with.
As for coffee there is something for everyone.
Enjoy your coffee ☕️
I definitely love sweet but not too sweet.
I am the kind of person that loves taking things that have atleast minimal quantity of sugar or even milk for my taste.
The coffee I take the most is the nescafe 3 in 1 coffee. Although, it can bee too sweet and that's the reason I don't take it often and if I am to take it i normally add more water most times to reduce the sweetness.
3 in one - classic! thats what my teen babygirl prefers :P
The question was - what will you pick: extremely bitter, or over-over-sugared?
if I understand your answer right, it means you will not accept coffee at all!
as 'golden balanced middle point' is out of the question ;)
When it comes to coffee, we had a different perspective depending on how could we tolerate the bitterness or the sweetness of its taste.
For me, I would love to drink coffee with lesser sugar but not too sweet. I am not used to drinking bitter coffee because I could not tolerate its bitterness. Sometimes I could tell if the taste is too bitter it could make me dizzy at time. So, I would love to choose the sweeter one compared to bitter coffee.
I appreciate those who loves to prefer bitter ones for the pure taste of the coffee seeds could be felt without any mixtures. Cheers to us coffee lovers 🍻
That's the great thing about coffee, there is something for everyone, but I'm on the bitter coffee team.
Greetings 🤗
Beautiful photo
Hehehe thank you. Whatever our preferences, one thing that binds us together, we are coffee lovers😊
I already scattered the little bits of my attitude / approach in various comments over the thread. In brief: (theoretically) I totally agree and adore position of bitter coffee without sugar. ) Thru the last year, I cut down the amounts of sugar I add to my coffee by double. Also I can note that both my wife and me eliminated completely sugar from our tea, 15 years ago! whatever kind of tea we drink - be it black tea, or green tea or pu-er, the result is - delicious taste of natural tea, a various spectre of taste!
But coffee is another deal, I still prefer to have sugar in it. (Here a guilty smile is inserted, the lady covers her face with a fan). I got the question of the week as, which extremum point I would go after: over-sugared or strongest and bittermost one? Definitely the 1st option 🐈 Give me more!
I was confused at the end, but I guess you prefer it too bitter than too sweet. That's the way I'd choose it given the case I had to, though it's difficult to resist those brown sugar cubes...
My tea is always plain, btw. But I do add cane honey and salt to our masala chai 😋
Cane honey, awww! 😋
No no. I would enjoy a bitter cup, and do drink it from time to time; definitely I appreciate this taste, understand it is a better way! but I follow my habits, and on the daily basis sweet coffee is my choice; when out, in coffee shops I often choose latte and very rarely -- sugarless ristretto 😜
Now I get it!
ps
those brown sugar cubes do look IRRESISTABLE, I could not stop taking the pics of the same single frame! for its so attractive... lol
!PIZZA
Yes, it's one of those pics that smile at you... I think the sugar cubes are posing 😄
Delighted with these photographic shots.

Anytime you can pleasantly share any coffee is great.
Greetings 🤗
Mille Grazie! Always do. have a great week start, Lizeth 🐈 !PIZZA

It is the essence of coffee to be bitter, in a pleasant way; we all love it for that reason and to take away that bitter touch is to eliminate its originality; for that reason I will always prefer to drink a bitter coffee with a small sweet or accompaniment than to drink a coffee that is extremely sweet.
For me it is a vice and a great pleasure to be able to accompany my coffees with small pastries. I know that most of you think the same as I do. ☕️
Bon appetit to all.
