Should you put the milk in before or after?

Question

When making coffee should you put the milk in the cup before or after the water?

Answer 1

With coffee, you are supposed to put the milk in before the water, so the water doesnt burn the coffee.

Answer 2

i heard somewhere once that it does make a difference and it's better to put it in before ... but i cant remember why god damnit !

enjoy your coffee :)

Answer 3

i put it in after to get the strength right otherwise it might be too milky (there's logic in there somewhere)

Answer 4

milk in after the water for coffee, for tea I like it in before!

Answer 5

It's your preference!

Answer 6

Before then mix milk with coffee then pour in hot (not boiling) water. Pouring boiling water on the coffee burns it and then tastes bitter.

Answer 7

Before or after makes no difference to the cup of coffee

Answer 8

After and make sure the milk is hot too

Answer 9

After to give the water time to cool down slightly as not to scald the milk.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Always after with coffee and it should rightly be warmed milk.  Tea always put milk (cold) in first.  Enjoy your coffee.

Answer 13

I always put mine in before.

Answer 14

After so the water can cool off (if it is so hot it is undrinkable)

Answer 15

in tea or coffee, after.......

Answer 16

before, because if you put the water on first it burns the granuals and ur coffee wont tadte as nice

Answer 17

After

Answer 18

Put the milk in coffee first and tea second.  If you pour boiling water onto coffee it will taste burnt (...so i am told by coffee drinkers) and also the milk mixes with the coffe and makes the drink more creamy and such.  In tea, you need the boiling water to sort out the tea leaves, and milk makes it colder, which will make weaker tea. oh yeah and put the suger in after the water but before the milk so as the hotter tea/water mix with dissolve the suger better.  I love tea.  i think about this a lot.

Answer 19

Milk was originally put in the cup first to cool down the hot drink so that the china wouldn't crack, so it was almost showing off if you put the milk in after to show that you had better quality china, however they do say that putting the milk in first stops it from curdling.

This may only apply to tea, i don't know.
