Try sugar packets if you don’t like sweeteners like equal. I switched to sugar packets, they are premeasured, started with 4 in a cup and am down to 2 now. Gradual decrease and my coffee still tastes good. When you use a spoon it’s easy to use too much. You can also use 1 packet of sweeter along with the sugar, it adds no taste with only 1 packet.
Thanks for the tips! I’ve gone from two tsps down to slightly over one so I’m working my way down. The packet idea is a really good one!
