ONCE YOU LEAVE BLACK CAN YOU COME BACK?

I remember a day long ago I drank only black coffee. I got married 7 years ago and my wife slowly switched me over as she was the one preparing my morning coffee. I am really tired of buying cream, running out of cream, and the whole process of dealing with the cream all for the purpose of diluting a taste that I really enjoy.
Today is the first day I decided I am done with cream. I am really hoping my wife will make the switch with me. I am looking forward to dusting off my espresso maker which I put to the side because I was tried of dealing with steaming the milk for my wife instead of simply making espresso.
Today I will go to Polly’s coffee on the way home from work and buy some fresh beans to burr grind for my Sunday morning espresso experience. Maybe I will buy some Baily’s to entice my wife to not use cream anymore.
I am curious if you all drink your coffee black and what you like about it and also if you don’t like it black, what all do you put in your coffee. Please describe your coffee rituals in the comments below.

I put sugar and milk in mine. I usually have one cup when I wake up and another after lunch. Wish you a good tax season, coffee is required this time a year :D.

My wife started putting cream in mine again... I just drink it and don’t complain ... easier that way. Tax season is fully underway... appreciate the good vibes

Hi Vlad. I don't mind with or without milk, just no sugar. Something tells me your wife will bitch a bit as it takes getting used to.

I have never been a fan of sugar in my coffee. Completely ruins it in my opinion. My wife is very resistant to the idea ... totally. You nailed that for sure. I like it better too because it stays hot. Sitting on my rainy porch today,,, it was a good day to start ! I will work on her but I don’t think she is gonna go for it, but still, that still means the cream will last twice as long with me quitting it .... much better

Experiment by reducing the cream in her coffee. Slowly wean her off and if she doesn't complain you may have a winner. I have my doubts though.

I have my doubts too. I have a pretty nice gaggia classic espresso maker with a gaggia burr grinder that makes some pretty decent espresso ... that may help but I do think it’s futile

Good morning! Good coffee to wake up ☕☕

Time for bed almost .. looking forward to day two of black coffee ))

For me there is no better coffee as plain black coffee ... either Turkish as we call it or regular espresso coffee. Here and there I like to order cappuccino or coffee with whipped cream just to make me happy. They also say plain black coffee is much healthier.

i agree, sometimes its good for a change and treat, but i like espresso the best
