Coffee coffee coffee!?

Question

I absolutely love coffee, but I want to be able to drink it black. Now I drink it with cream and sugar. Has anyone else made the change, and if so can you tell me how you got used to the flavor?

Answer 1

I tried to wean myself off cream and sugar but I am a very weak willed person lol and always "accidentally" put too much in.  oops! lol

I ended up just going cold turkey on the cream and sugar and dealing with it.  I got used to it.

Or, if you don't like that, you could try just tasting the coffee, maybe a sip or two, before you add cream etc in gradually decreasing amounts and compromise the methods.  That way you'll still be able to pick out certain flavors in the coffee after the cream has muted them because you'll better know what you're looking for.

Answer 2

i think you should mabey just gradually change put less cream and sugar in it everyday so your taste buds wont be put in shock lol but it is such a bitter taste good luck with that

Answer 3

Decrease whatever you're putting in there and try drinking it black and eating a pastry or fruit (anything sweet). You'll eventually enjoy the contrast. :)

Answer 4

i used to drink coffee double double.  lots of cream lots of sugar.  now I drink it black.  I decreased both things a little bit at a time, and finally decided I want to taste what the coffee tastes like.  You know, the real taste of the coffee without being masked by anything.  It was sort of an enlightenment.
