    I like both - depending on circumstance...

    Now - with or without milk? That's a more entertaining argument!

    depends on what type of milk ?

    Blue FULL FAT
    green - Semi
    Red - Urgh!
    oh and not forgetting the most bizarre thing I've tasted to date - Soya Milk.

    I used to be a milkman in my leaner days

    there was a RED which was Homogenized Milk cant remenber what it was (Ill google it)

    Edit

    treatment for milk that breaks the fat into tiny particles that can remain suspended in liquid rather than rising to the top as cream in untreated milk.

    I agree

    Fresh ground coffee has some very subtle flavours which are drowned out once sugar has been added to the brew.

    However, sometimes when freeze-dried is used you have to add a bit of sugar as they can be quite harsh

    Kool just let me add though

    he is correct in his opinion as I can see where he is coming from but it is to your personal taste and preference as you can either add as many sugars as you want or none, to simply say you dont like coffee if you take sugar is grammatically incorrect .
    it is like saying "I can not do nothing" as it is impossible to do nothing.

    I like my coffee strong, black and without sugar. With tea I only have milk in normal tea, not in earl gray and so on and always without sugar.

    Sugar in coffe eh, prolly the same bizarre reasoning behind the ham the mrs got yesterday with a sticker on it saying 15% added water. I felt like taking it back & asking for 15% of my money back & telling them i'll add my own chuffin water.

    On a similar note, why do they put croutons in CupaSoups? If I wanted dried up bread with my soup, I'd get some.

    expresso is just a bit quicker to make than espresso.

    I normally need sugar in instant coffee, will try and get a cuppa tea if this is on offer. I can handle something like gold blend without sugar. Any variant of fresh coffee no sugar.

    Coffee should be black with no sugar!! If it is instant I will put milk in it occasionally as it tastes so rubbish compared to fresh.

    As for tea, again no sugar but it has to be skimmed (red top) milk in it otherwise it tastes too much of cream!
