yeccch! I used to be like that, more cream and sugar than coffee, Try drinking it black for a few days, you may actually learn to like it.

A lot of being able to drink it black has to do with the coffee itself and the water.

I drink it black at home because I use distilled water and one of the better Folgers grades, and it is delicious. Out and about I often find black coffee undrinkable because of the miserable taste.

Black is the only way I take my coffee. I love sugar but cannot stand it in coffee. The only way I take sugar in coffee is to dunk a doughnut or cookie. As for cream...yuck.

As for this study....what a pantload.

I drank black coffee for 40 years. Adding cream and sweetener keeps me from eating sweets. NOT going back to black.

If you drink it black, it needs to be good coffee. I am blessed to have a friend who is a roaster...roastmaster? Anyway he started a coffee business recently and brings me bags of beans that I grind fresh every morning for my two daily mugs. Do a search for JBrooks coffee roasters to find him.

And once you buy a bag of beans or ground coffee, wrap it up tight and put it into a zip-loc bag. Don’t just leave it loosely closed.

I'm a big time coffee fan. I even roast it using a nice drum roaster. I still use milk and sugar, though. 1/5 milk to coffee. I think it brings out a great flavor. Yes, I'll drink it black now and then, but I enjoy it this way.
