Let us discuss the debate: sugar..... in coffee! 
What are peoples opinions on using sugar in coffee? There are differing views on it, one being that A beautifully made coffee doesnt need sugar. When i started out in the coffee world, my thought was that sugar brings out the flavour of the coffee (but NOTE, i certainly do NOT hold that view anymore!).
I believe that sugar makes anything tastes better than it was, hence sugar making a crap coffee taste better (or at least okay), and if i have made a not-great quality coffee (or are served one), i will use sugar.
SO! does anyone here drink their coffee with sugar? And what are our thoughts? Im sure the in cupping comps there is no sugar added
...
I believe that adding sugar doesnt allow for the true flavours of the coffee to be experienced, and it just plain makes it sweeter. However i will add sugar if it just tastes like hot water... (hrrhhhmm... stale pre-ground coffee...
). Brewing the espresso beautifully, and skilfully steaming and sweetening the milk through aerating it will suffice... (even though it is never a perfect process..)
Thoughts?
