well yeah, i mean the 'regular' coffee at dunkin donuts is kind of tasty in its own way but also an assault unto the the stately instutution of coffee. 'regular,' in this case, being like 4 tablespoons of sugar in 14 ounces of coffee and a ballsy jigger of heavy cream.
90% of the time i drink aeropress coffee black w/ a little splash of 2% milk and/or a teensy pinch of sugar, but when it's the summer and i get to make like a vietnamese coffee parfeit thingamajig i am all cà phê này rất là ngon
a little clear glass 6 oz mug in it stacked all vertical like:
a sprinkle of cinnamona big pull of cheap espresso, usually cafe du mondethree ice cubesan oz. of sweetened condensed milk

sugar imho gives coffee a more vomity taste. milk can be ok at times.

yeah I agree about sugar -- in a weird way it kind of makes the coffee taste more sour. Pretty good in shitty and/or weak coffee though, and in black ethiopian coffee, and in turkish coffee

haha harbl that is a good description of what suddenly made me repulsed by oversweet coffee
i change my mind over this constantly though, time was i would only drink huge espressos ('can u just put four lil espressos in one big cup?') and fill it with sugar til the empty cup was full of sugarsludge
idk, sometimes

^^^^^^^
but related: cuban coffee is otm sometimes.
i drink black oversteeped french press most of the time, but occasionally throw in a splash of soy (blasphemy, whatever fu). but for some reason at work i only drink black! maybe because the drip coffee is never going to have the texture of pressed, and so it doesn't need milk? who knows.
i have added spices before! it's good at holiday time or something. i noticed tj's actually sells a coffee/cocoa blend now.
